"Waiting For the Light To Change"
Music and Lyrics © Bayard Russell, May 2015

VERSE1
G F# C B
G F# C B D (x2)
Stuck on the same road
Heart’s gonna explode
Trapped on the highway
Nothing is going my way
Bumper to bumper
One mile an hour
Stopped at a red light
No Exit ramp in sight, no

C G F#
Waiting for the light to change
C G F#
Waiting for the light to change
C G F#
Waiting for the light to change
C G/B D
Waiting for the light to change

VERSE2
G F# C B
G F# C B D (x2)
Hot air is blowing
Nobody’s going
Radio's blaring
Nobody’s really caring
Smoke in the distance
Roadside assistance
Idling in place
No one escapes LA

CHORUS

Waiting for the light to change
C G F#
Waiting for the light to change
C G F#
Waiting for the light to change
C G/B D
Waiting for the light to change

Maybe I should walk instead

Have a smoke and clear my head
Am Em Em D D
Comfort drives you crazy
C D
This SUV has leather and AC
