[Verse]

                    F            
Lovin' him is like, drivin' a new 
     Am
Maserati
                G
Down a dead end street
F                           Am
Faster than the wind, passionate as 
sin
         G
Ended so suddenly
                    F
Loving him is like, tryin' to change
 your mind
            Am                     
Once you're already flying through 
    G
the free fall
         F                  Am
Like the colors in autumn so bright
                 G          N.C.
Just before they lose it all


[Chorus]

               F                   
Losing him was blue, like I'd never
 C
 known
                G
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
                   F             
Forgetting him was like trying to 
          Am
know somebody
          G
You never met
                   F
But loving him was red
          Am        G
Re ee ed, re ee ed, re ee ed
               F
Lovin' him was red
          Am        G
Re ee ed, re ee ed, re ee ed

[Verse]

                       F           
Touching him was like, realizing 
           Am
all you ever wanted
                   G
Was right there in front of you
                       F      
Memorizing him was as, easy as 
                 Am
knowin' all the words
                    G
To your old favorite song
                           F
Fighting with him was like tryin' to
 solve a
              Am                   
Crossword and realizing there's no 
        G
right answer
                        F          
Regretting him was like wishing you
              Am
 never found out
                       G
That love could be that strong


[Chorus]

               F                   
Losing him was blue, like I'd never
 C
 known
                G
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
                   F             
Forgetting him was like trying to 
          Am
know somebody
          G
You never met
                   F
But loving him was red
          Am           G
Re ee ed, re ee ed, oh red, re ee ed
        F              Am
Burnin' red, re ee ed, re ee ed
G
Re ee ed,


[Bridge]

                         F         
Remembering him comes in flashbacks
      G
 and echos
                    Am             
Tellin' myself it's time now gotta 
G/B
let go
     C              F
But moving on from him is impossible
     C/E                       G
When I still see it all in my, head
            F   Am  G
And burning red
       F      Am  G
Burning was reeeeed


[Chorus]

                  F F F N.C.        
     C C C N.C.
Oh losing him was blue, like I'd 
never known
                G G G N.C.          
 G G G
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
                   F             
Forgetting him was like tryin' to 
          Am
know somebody
          G
You never met
                     F
Cause loving him was red
Am          G
Yeah, yeah, red
           F   Am  G
Oh Burning reeeeeeeed

           F                  Am  
And that's Why he's spinnin' 
            G
'round in my head
                              F
Comes back to me, burnin' red
  Am      G
Yeah, yeah

                   F            
His love was like, drivin' a new

Down a dead end street.
