THIS IS A NICE EASY WAY TO MAKE IT SOUND GREAT
***CAPO 1ST FRET***
CYou sing a song
While Gsitting at a red lightAm  F  
CYou think of home
While Gsitting at a red lightAm  F  
CToo slow to roll
Put your Glife on hold
AmAn open path
With Fnowhere to go
CYou start to wonder
While Gsitting at a red lightAm  F  
Chorus:
CYou can run a red lightG  
AmGive up at a red lightF  
CYou break the mold
When Grunning through the tolls
AmSpeeding through your whole lifeF  
A chance to breathe
While sitting at a red light
You look around
reflecting on your life
A chance to think
Am I drinkning too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
A second glance
When coming to a red light
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
When things look low
You've gotta keep stong
Feet to the grass
You've gotta walk it off
The bows been tied
Too tight to laugh
Feet to the ground
You've gotta walk it off
You can run a red light
You can run a red light
Start to think
Am I drinkning too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
You can run a red light
You can run a red light
You sing a song
While sitting at a red light
