[Verse 1]
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all
[Chorus]
Asus2 E
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
B5
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
Asus2 C#m7 B5
But loving him was red
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Loving him was red
[Verse 2]
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong
[Chorus]
Asus2 E
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
B5
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
Asus2 C#m7 B5
But loving him was red
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Burning red
[Bridge]
Asus2 B5
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
C#m7 B
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
C#m
But moving on from him is impossible
G#m B
When I still see it all in my head
N.C.
In burning red ( Solo )
N.C.
Burning, it was red ( Solo )
[Chorus]
Asus2 E
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
B5
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Asus2 C#m7 B5
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
B5 Asus2 C#m7 B5
'Cause loving him was red yeah, yeah, red
B5 Asus2 C#m7 B5
We're burning red
[Post-Chorus]
Asus2 C#m7
And that's why he's spinnin' 'round in my head
B G#m B
Comes back to me, burning red
C#m7 B5
Yeah, yeah
Asus2 C#m7 B5
His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
