Blue Flashing Light

Travis

Em
Saturday evening at quarter to five 
        Am 
I would see him arrive at the door 
D 
Pushed you aside as he stagered inside 
         Em 
spilling alcohol over the floor 
Em 
A storm is a brew it is sure to fall soon 
   Am 
as I look at you from ashore 
         G 
So you'd better hold on 

'cos it's saturday night 
         Em 
and your friends are all out 

and you feel like shit 
          G 
'cos they never called you 

no they never called you 
        Em 
no they never called, never called 
Never bloody ever 
Em 
Call me a name and i'll hit you again 
         Am 
you're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a hore 
D 
talk to your dad in that tone of voice 
          Em 
there's a belt hanging over the door 
       Em 
so you run to your room, and you hide in your room 
         Am 
thinking how you could settle the score 

Em 
The blue flashing light last saturday night 
            Am 
brought the neighbours all out on the street 
D 
they watched as the fireman carried you out 
         Em 
and they stared at each others feet 
         Em 
everyone sees yet nobody says 
        Am 
are you all just afraid of the heat 
         G 
but it's saturday night 
and i'm lying alone 
        Em 
and the bed that i made 
disconnected the phone 
           G 
still they never call you 
no they never call you 
        Em 
no they never call, never call 
Never bloody ever call
