Standing Still Tab

by Jewel


Here's another jewel trascription - a little more complete.
I usually use a lot of chord substitutions & such when I play this,
this is just a very elemental version of what I play when I play this
song out. Remember the various D's, A's, & B's that you can play during
this song to emphasise the words & changes (ex.Dsus2 or Dsus4).
Have fun . . . Ian . . . 


Jewel - Standing Still

[INTRO:]           (x2)

[VERSE:]
                                     
Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights
                                                  
Trying to keep it clear, but I’m losing it here to the twilight
                                                     
There’s a dead end to my left, there’s a burning bush to my right
                           
You aren’t in sight       you aren’t in sight
______________________________________________________
[CHORUS:]
                                             
Do  you   want me,   like   I    want you or  am I standing still
                                      
Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still
                                      
With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still
                                           
Out of the corner of my eye,   was that you passing me by
__________________________________________________________
[VERSE:]
                                                   
Mothers on the stoop, boys in souped-up coupes, on this hot summer night.
                                                     
Between fight and flight, is the blind man’s sight, and a choice that’s right.
                                              
I roll the window down, feel like I’m gonna drown, in this strange town.
                          
Feel broken down       I feel broken down

[CHORUS:]
                                             
Do  you   need me,   like   I    need you or  am I standing still
                                      
Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still
                                      
With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still
                                           
Out of the corner of my eye,   was that you passing me by

[N.C. -- I play Bm]
Sweet sorrow, is the call tomorrow
Sweet sorrow, is the call tomorrow

[CHORUS:]
                                             
Do  you   love me,   like   I    love you or  am I standing still
                                      
Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still
                                      
With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still
                                           
Out of the corner of my eye,   was that you passing me by
                         
Are you paaaaaaaaassing me by? (passing me by)
Do you want me? (passing me by)
                     
Do you need me, like I need you too?
                  
And do you want me like I want you?
                          (  )
Are you passing me by  (X2)  (or am I standing still)
