[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][F][F]
[C][C][G][G]

[Interlude 1]
[Am](Red light spells [F]danger
Can't hold [C]out much long[G]er
'Cause [Am]red light means w[F]arning
Can't hold [C]out, I'm burn[G]ing)

[Verse 1]
No, no, no
[Am]You took my heart and turned me on
[F]And now the danger sign is on
Never [C]thought the day would come
When I would [G]feel alone without you
[Am]And now I'm like a child again
[F]Calling out his mama's name
You got me [C]on a ball and chain
Doin' [G]things that I don't wanna

[Pre-chorus 1]
I [F]can't stop running to you
I [G]feel love coming through you
And, [F]girl, with you beside me
[G]Hold on, heaven guide me

[Chorus 1]
[C]Red light, feel the red light
(Spells [F]danger)
Oh, a danger warning
Can't hold [C]out,
can't hold out much long[G]er, no, no, never
[C]Red light, feel the red light
(Means [F]warning)
...that's a danger warning
Can't hold [C]out, I can't hold out
I'm burn[G]ing, oh!

[Interlude 2]
[Am]Mmmm[Am][F][F]
[C]Yea[C]h, yea[G]h, mmm[G]

[Interlude 3]
[Am](Red light) Red light
(Spells [F]danger), spelling danger
Can't hold [C]out, I can't hold out
(Much long[G]er), oh, baby, baby
('Cause [Am]red light) Mmm
(Means [F]warning), means warning
(Can't hold [C]out) And I can't hold out
(I'm burn[G]ing), ...no, no, no!

[Verse 2]
[Am]I had my fun, I played around
[F]Without a love to tie me down
I always [C]used to kiss and run
I never [G]wanted love to catch me
[Am]I thought I had a heart of stone
[F]But now I'm in the danger zone
I can [C]feel the heat is on
Soon the [G]flames are gonna catch me

[Pre-chorus 2]
I [F]can't stop running to you
I [G]feel love coming through you
And, [F]girl, with you beside me
[G]Hold on, heaven guide me

[Chorus 2]
[C]Red light, feel the red light
(Spells [F]danger)
Oh, it's a danger warning
(Can't hold [C]out), ...can't hold out
(Much long[G]er) ...no, no!
('Cause [C]red light) Feel the red light
(Means [F]warning)
Oh, it's a danger warning
Can't hold [C]out, I can't hold out
(I'm burn[G]ing) ...no, no!

[Chorus 3]
[C](Red light) Oh, it's a red light, baby
(Spells [F]danger)
...and that's a danger warning
(Can't hold [C]out), I can't hold out
(Much long[G]er) ...you got to help me, baby!
('Cause [C]red light) Feel the red light
(Means [F]warning)
Oh, it's a danger warning
Can't hold [C]out, I can't hold out
(I'm burn[G]ing) no!
[Fade out]
