Intro

G C G (x4)

Verse 1

Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee
Fifty million people out in front of me 
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
New York to Nyack feels like a hundred miles

Chorus

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

Riff

G C G x2

Verse 2

Stuck in a meeting on a Monday night
Trying to get the numbers to come out right
I'm getting tired, I think I just might need a drink   
And as I'm reaching in the bottom drawer
I'm dreaming 'bout the way it was before
Life was so easy, I never really had to think

Chorus

It's not right, it's not fair
I'm still a mess and you still don't care
I go to sleep, when I wake up 
The pain sets in and it never stops
And the little red light's not blinking
No no, the little red light's not blinking
No no, the little red light's not blinking
On the desktop mailbox of my big black laptop

Chorus

It's not right, it's not fair
I'm still a mess and you still don't care
I go to work, I come back home
But you're still gone, and I'm still alone, -one
And the little red light's not blinking
No no, the little red light's not blinking
No no, the little red light's not blinking
On my big black Radioshack digital portable phone
Oh no Oh no Oh no
