Walking Papers - Red And White Chords

  [Intro]
Am Dm Am
Am Dm Am

[Verse 1]
Am                  Dm      Am
The rain ricocheted off the windshield
Am           Dm     Am
And he idled by the curb
G                     F
Under his breath in a whisper
           Am                Dm Am
He repeats a single dirty word
Am             Dm       Am
He had to do a friend a favor
Am                Dm       Am
He made a promise he can't keep
G                            F
A cigarette burns between his fingers
         Am                Dm Am
Just in case he falls asleep
F                         Dm
He says I'll take care of everything
F                                    G                G#
But I can't ask you to marry me if I can't afford the ring


[Chorus]
    Am
The road ahead
   C
Is red and white
F
Strung out forever
      Am
Light christmas lights
             Am
And I should change my ways
        C
Cause I know it aint right
             F
Yea I should turn around
      Am        Em
But I drive all night


[Interlude]
Am Dm Am

[Verse 2]
Am                    Dm  Am
The interstate became a canvas
Am                 Dm      Am
It turned him into someone else
G                       F
He argued with his own existance
       Am                  Dm Am
But he can't convince himself
Am              Dm     Am
He wont take no for an answer
Am                Dm        Am
But it's the only one he'll get
G                          F
He wants to leave the past behind him
             Am             Dm Am
But if ain't done with him yet
F                         Dm
He said I'll take care of everything
F                                    G                G#
But I can't ask you to marry me if I can't afford the ring


[Chorus]

    Am
The road ahead
   C
Is red and white
F
Strung out forever
      Am
Light christmas lights
             Am
And I should change my ways
        C
Cause I know it aint right
             F
Yea I should turn around
      Am        Em
But I drive all night


[Bridge]
F                           Dm
There is no one without the other
F                          Am            G
We can run forever but the past is never far behind
G                       Am
Standing in between two mirrors
           Dm
I cross my heart I cross my fingers
G
I cross a line


[Interlude]

[Chorus]
    Am
The road ahead
   C
Is red and white
F
Strung out forever
      Am
Light christmas lights
             Am
And I should change my ways
        C
Cause I know it aint right
             F
Yea I should turn around
      Am            E
But I drive all night
      F               E
Yea I drive all night ohhh
      Am
Yea I drive all night
      C               F
Yea I drive all night ohhhh
Em
Ohhhh
