Intro.:  |(G) |(Bm) |(A) |(A)

Loving him is like (G)driving a new Mase-(Bm)rati down a dead end (A)street
(G)Faster than the wind, passion-(Bm)ate as sin, ended so (A)suddenly
Loving him is like (G)trying to change your mind, once you're (Bm)already flying through the (A)free fall
Like the (G)colors in autumn, so (Bm)bright just before they lose (A) it all

(Chorus)
Losing him was (G)blue like I'd never (D)known, missing him was (A)dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was (G)like trying to know some-(Bm)body you've never (A)met
But loving him was (G)red |(Bm) |(A) |(A)
Loving him was (G)red |(Bm) |(A) |(A)

Touching him is like (G)realizing all you ever (Bm)wanted was right there in (A)front of you
Memorizing him was as (G)easy as knowing all the (Bm)words to your old favorite (A) song
Fighting with him was like (G)trying to solve a crossword and (Bm)realizing there's no right an-(A)swer
Regretting him was like (G)wishing you never found out (Bm) love could be that (A) strong

(Chorus)
Losing him was (G)blue like I'd never (D)known, missing him was (A)dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was (G)like trying to know some-(Bm)body you've never (A)met
But loving him was (G)red, (Bm) oh (A)red |(A)
Burning (G)red |(Bm) |(A) |(A)

(Bridge)
Remembering him comes in (G)flashbacks and (A)echoes
Tell myself it's (Bm)time now, gotta (C#m)let go
But (D)moving on from (G)him is impossible
When (F#m)I still see it all in my (A) head

(Inst.)
Burning red! |(G) |(Bm) |(A) |(A)
Darling it was (G)red! |(Bm) |(A) |(A)

(Chorus)
Losing him was (G)blue like I'd never (D)known, missing him was (A)dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was (G)like trying to know some-(Bm)body you've never (A)met
'Cause loving him was (G)red, yeah (Bm) yeah (A)red |(A)
We're burning (G)red |(Bm) |(A) |(A)

And that's (G)why he's spinning a-(Bm)round in my head, (A)comes back to me burning red
(G) (Bm) Yeah, yeah

'Cause love was like (G)driving a new Mase-(Bm)rati down a dead end (A) street
