[Intro]
G Am G D
[Verse]
GFrankie was a Amheart breaker
GI didn't know it at the Dstart
GShe was only Am16
GBut she went and broke my Dheart
GAnd she pulled up in her Amdad's car wearing white
GShe said she knew a Dplace where we could hide
GShe didn't have a Amlicense and she told me I could drive
GSo I drove all Dnight
AmWhy don't you leave me, she asked that night
AmI said, I see, I didn't know the kid is mine
AmI'll never leave you, it isn't right
AmLet's stay together until the end of time
[Chorus]
DOh Cnow the white is redAm  
AmCan't get it outta my head
DOh Cnow the white is redAm  
[Interlude]
G Am G D
[Verse]
GI heard that there's a Amplace where we can go
GAcross the state there's Dno one that we know
GOr maybe rent a Amplace where we can stay
GWhere what we have will Dgo along the way
GThen Frankie turned to me, Amshe looked me in the eye
GShe said that I looked tired, Dshe told me she could drive
GI pulled up to the station, Amwalked through neon lights
GThen she put her foot Ddown, down, down, down
AmWhy did you leave me alone that night
AmYou took of racing, the kid is mine
AmYou left me standing out on the yellow line
AmThe daylights fading into the night
AmWe cross the line
AmWe cross the line
AmWe cross the line
AmWe cross the line
[Chorus]
DOh Cnow the white is redAm  
AmCan't get it outta my head
DOh Cnow the white is redAm  
[Bridge]
AmI don't know why she left, took off racin'
DI ran down yellow line, red lights fadin'
AmShe went left, double line, outta luck, outta time
DI cover my eyes, I know she crossed the line
AmShe crossed the line
DShe crossed the line
AmShe crossed the line
DShe crossed the line
AmShe crossed the line
DShe crossed the line
AmShe crossed the line
DShe crossed the line
[Chorus]
DOh Cnow the white is redAm  
AmCan't get it outta my head
DOh Cnow the white is redAm

[Intro]

G Am G D

[Verse]

G Am

Frankie was a heart breaker

G D

I didn't know it at the start

G Am

She was only 16

G D

But she went and broke my heart

G Am

And she pulled up in her dad's car wearing white

G D

She said she knew a place where we could hide

G Am

She didn't have a license and she told me I could drive

G D

So I drove all night

Why don't you leave me, she asked that night

I said, I see, I didn't know the kid is mine

I'll never leave you, it isn't right

Let's stay together until the end of time

[Chorus]

D C Am

Oh now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

D C Am

Oh now the white is red

[Interlude]

G Am G D

[Verse]

G Am

I heard that there's a place where we can go

G D

Across the state there's no one that we know

G Am

Or maybe rent a place where we can stay

G D

Where what we have will go along the way

G Am

Then Frankie turned to me, she looked me in the eye

G D

She said that I looked tired, she told me she could drive

G Am

I pulled up to the station, walked through neon lights

G D

Then she put her foot down, down, down, down

Why did you leave me alone that night

You took of racing, the kid is mine

You left me standing out on the yellow line

The daylights fading into the night

We cross the line

[Chorus]

D C Am

Oh now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

D C Am

Oh now the white is red

[Bridge]

I don't know why she left, took off racin'

I ran down yellow line, red lights fadin'

She went left, double line, outta luck, outta time

I cover my eyes, I know she crossed the line

She crossed the line

[Chorus]

D C Am

Oh now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

D C Am

Oh now the white is red
