[Verse 1-1]
C#m              A
Red light spells danger
      E             B
Can't hold out much longer
       C#m             A
'Cause red light means warning
      E            B
Can't hold out I'm burning
No, no, no

[Verse 1-2]
C#m
   You took my heart and turned me on
A
 And now the danger sign is on
E
 I never thought the day would come
     B
When I would feel alone without you
C#m
   An' now I'm like a child again
A
 Calling out his mama's name
E
 You got me on a ball and chain
B
Doin' things that I don't wanna

[Pre-Chorus]
  A
I can't stop running to you
B
Feel love coming through you
A
Girl with you beside me
B
Hold on, heaven guide me

[Chorus]
E
Red light, feel the red light
A
 Oh, danger warning
      E
Can't hold out, can't hold out,
     B

Red light, feel the red light
A
 Oh, and it's a danger warning
      E                             B           C#m
Can't hold out, can't hold out, I'm burning no, no, no,

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

Hold on, heaven guide me

Oh, it's a red light, baby

 Oh, it's just a danger warning

 And I can't hold out, no, you got to help me,
baby!

 Oh, oh, feel the red light
A
 Oh, it's a danger warning
E                         B
 Oh, I can't hold out, no, no, no, no,
no!
