A  C#m  B   B   A   C#m  B

                     A                C#m
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati
                   B     B
Down a dead end street
 A
Faster than the wind
      C#m
Passionate as sin
          B
Ended so suddenly
 B                   A
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
           C#m                           B       B
Once you're already flying through the free fall
          A                    C#m
Like the colours in autumn so bright
                  B
Just before they lose it all

Chorus:
                 A                    E
 Losing him was blue like I'd never known
                  B              B
 Missing him was dark grey all alone
                     A
 Forgetting him was like
                    C#m            B     B
 Tryin' to know somebody you never met
                     A
 But loving him was red (red)
C#m        B    B
 Red red red
                 A
 Lovin' him was red (red)
C#m        B
 Red red red

 B                     A                     C#m
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted
                     B
Was right there in front of you
 B                    A
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing
         C#m                   B
All the words to your old favorite song
 B                           A
Fighting with him was like trying
To solve a crossword
     C#m                       B       B
And realizing there's no right answer
                         A                      C#m
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out
                     B
That love could be that strong

Chorus:
 B               A                   E
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
                 B               B
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
                    A
Forgetting him was like
                    C#m            B
Trying to know somebody you never met
 B                  A   C#m
But loving him was red
     B   B
Oh, red
         A   C#m B
Burning red

    B                       A            B
 Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echos
                      C#m            B
 Telling myself it's time now gotta let go
                     A
 But moving on from him is impossible
      E                        B
 When I still see it all in my head
              A C#m B B
 And burning red
              A C#m B
 Burning was red

Chorus:
B                    A                   E
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
                 B               B
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
                    A
Forgetting him was like
                    C#m            B
Trying to know somebody you never met
 B                     A
'Cause loving him was red
 C#m         B
Yeah, yeah, red
B              A   C#m  B  B
We're burning red

              A                 C#m         B
 And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head
                   B      A C#m B
 Comes back to me burnin red
B                     A                C#m
 Loving him is like driving a new Maserati
                B
 Down a dead end street
