Intro:         (twice)

                                     
Cuttin' through the darkest night in 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

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

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

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

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

Repeat chorus

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

      Gsus    
D----o y--o--u love me
    Gsus   
Like I ---- love you
