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

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

Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow
