Red Hot Chili Peppers – One Way Traffic chords

[Intro]
Em    D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am            Em
Come from the sun in San Marino
Em
Guess that makes me Angeleno
Em
Friends got married, had them dogs
D                   F
Now they read those catalogs
Am   Em
This commerce makes me nauseous (Ah)
Em
When did life get so damn cautious?
Em
So I drive in search of smiles
D
XM on, let's check out Miles
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
This slice of life 

when you're out on the road
          Am    Em    
Is always extra nice 
             D          F 
when there's someone to hold
 
 
[Chorus]
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am
Spirographic anagram
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am           D
Would you be mine?
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Anyway, I was headed south
Em
Taste of coffee in my mouth
Em
Up that off-ramp 405
D
Angry drivers on both sides
Em
Got a call from my good friend Dave
Am                  Em
He said, "Yo, let's get that wave"
Em
I said, "Yes, just tell me where"
D               F
Board's up top, wind in my hair
Em
From the mind of Frida Kahlo
Em
Show me love and I will follow
Am                Em
From the words of my old man 
(Old man)
D
Conversations in the sand
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
This slice of life 

when you're out on the road
          Am    Em  
Is always extra nice 
             D          F
when there's someone to hold
 
 
[Chorus]
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am
Spirographic anagram
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?

Ay-oh, way-oh
Am           D     G  Em
Would you be mine?
 
 
[Bridge]
Am               D     
I got a slice of life 
             A       G
that's built for you
    Em                             
Oh, now, come and give me something 
    D              A          G
to spread my bread onto (Onto)
              Em                  
T-t-t, t-t-t, time and time again, 
         D      A          G
we get a window and a clue
         Em         
Time and time again, 
      D       A
life-changing rendezvous
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em
Anyway, made a left on third
Em
Got distracted, jumped that curb
Em
Unaware and on her walk
  D
I hit the brakes, made time to talk
Am  Em
She said, "Can I get that ride?"
Em
Oh my God, just get inside
Em
It was all that I imagined
D             F
Born to ride, enthusiasm
Am                  Em
Packed our bags and headed west
Em
PCH, I'm so impressed
Em
My friends said, "Havin' fun yet?"
   D
We drove off into the sunset
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
This slice of life 

when you're out on the road
          Am    Em   
Is always extra nice 
             D          F
when there's someone to hold
 
 
[Chorus]
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am
Spirographic anagram
C      Em
Ay-oh, way-oh
Am              D
Would you be my traffic jam?

Ay-oh, way-oh
Am           D     G  Em C Em
Would you be mine?
