G C G
Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee / fifty million people out in front of me
C G C G
Trying to cross the water but it just might be a while
Rain's coming down I can't see a thing / radio's broken so I'm whistling
C G D
New York to Nyack feels like a hundred miles
[Chorus]
Em G C G
It's not right, it's not fair / I'm still a mess and you still don't care
C G
I go to work, I come back home
C D
But you're still gone, and I'm still alone
F
And the little red light's not blinking / no, no the little red light's not blinking
C
No, no the little red light's not blinking
C G C G C G C G C G
On my big black plastic Japanese cordless phone, oh no, oh no
[Verse 2]
G C G
Stuck in a meeting on Monday night / trying to get the numbers to come out right
C G C G
I'm getting tired, I think I just might need a drink
G C G C G
And as I'm reaching in the bottom drawer / I'm dreaming 'bout the way it was before
C G D
Life was so easy I never really had to think
[Chorus]
Em G C G
It's not right, it's not fair / I'm still a mess and you still don't care
C G
I go to sleep, when I wake up
C D
The pain sets in and it never stops
F
And the little red light's not blinking / no, no the little red light's not blinking
C
No, no the little red light's not blinking
C G
On the desktop mailbox of my big black laptop
[Solo]

[Chorus]
Em G C G
It's not right, it's not fair / I'm still a mess and you still don't care
C G
I go to work, I come back home
C D
But you're still gone, and I'm still alone
F
And the little red light's not blinking / no, no the little red light's not blinking
C
No, no the little red light's not blinking
C G C G C G C G C G
On my big black plastic Japanese cordless phone, oh no, oh no
