Intro:  Am   G   C (twice)

Am                          G           C
Cuttin' through the darkest night in my two headlights
Am                                         G       C
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here to the twilight
Am                                               G    C
There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my right
Am                  G  C
You aren't in sight,   You aren't in sight

F      Gsus    G
D----o y--o--u want me
F    Gsus   G
Like I ---- want you

Chorus:
G                C
Or am I standing still?
F                    Dm
Beneath the darkened sky
G                C
Or am I standing still?
          F             Dm
With the scenery flying by
G                Am
Or am I standing still?
            F           Gsus 
Out of the corner of my eye
Em       Am
Was that you
F          Gsus    G
Passing me by

Am                                      G    C
Mothers on a stoop, boys in souped-up coupes on this hot summer night
Am                                           G      C
Between fight and flight is the blind man's sight & the choice that's right
Am                                           G    C
I roll the window down feels like I'm gonna drown in this strange town
Am                 G    C
I feel broken down,  I feel broken down

F      Gsus    G
D----o y--o--u need me
F    Gsus   G
Like I ---- need you

Repeat chorus

N.C
Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow
N.C
Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow

Like I ---- love you
