[E]
[F#] I begged baby out noon in [A] school, in my memories faded view, [B] I remember years ago [C#m] her name
I barely knew.
[F#] Years later, saw her in [A] town, knocking on my window, talking [B] loud.
Said baby do you need a date, [A] or just a little fooling around?
[F#] Way down where the red lights glow, [E] sneaking down where the bad seeds grow.
[C#m] Gone and wet, [B] but the sun don't show me the [B] sad news.
[F#] Walkers keep on this way, [E] standing there and laying in wait.
[C#m] She looks at me and I look away, need the [A] sad news.

[C#]
[E] [F#] I said thanks, no I don't need [A] that.
Then she turned her naked back, [B] she turned to go, and I just had [A] to stare at her walking away.
[F#] Looking out [F#m] there might be me, [A] but the grace of God, oh I can see.
[B] The glint of sand, strand of hair, [A] chromosome of someone's death.
[F#] Way down where the red lights glow, [E] sneaking down where the bad seeds grow.
[C#m] Gone and wet, but the sun don't show [A] me the [B] sad news.
[F#] Walkers keep on this way, [E] standing there and laying in wait.
[C#m] She looks at me [C#] and I look away, need the sad news.

Couldn't help [C#] but follow her, felt [E] so bad, but couldn't stop.
[B] Curiosity's got me, but worth the damn, [E] although I'm not.
[B] [G#] Put her down, but want her too, ashamed [E] to say, I want her a lot.
[G#] Guess I'll go and move along, let it [E] go, let it drop.
[F#] And waiting down where the red lights glow, [E] sneaking down where the bad seeds grow.
