Standing Still Jewel Capo 2

Am G C

Cutting through the darkest night are 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 G F G C

Do you want me, like I want you or am I standing still

F Dm7 G C

Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still

F Dm7 G Am

With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still

F G Em Am F G

Out of the corner of my eye, was that you passing me by

Am G C

Mothers on the stoop, boys in souped-up coupes, on this hot summer night.

Am G C

Between fight and flight, is the blind man’s sight, and a choice that’s right.

Am G C

I roll the window down, feel like I’m gonna drown, in this strange town.

Am G C

Feel broken down I feel broken down

F G F G C

Do you need me, like I need you or am I standing still

F Dm7 G C

Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still

F Dm7 G Am

With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still

F G Em Am F G Em

Out of the corner of my eye, was that you passing me by

Sweet sorrow, is the call tomorrow Sweet sorrow, is the call tomorrow

F G F G C

Do you love me, like I love you or am I standing still

F Dm7 G C

Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still

F Dm7 G Am

With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still

F G Em Am F G

Out of the corner of my eye, was that you passing me by

C F G C F G C

Are you passing me by? (passing me by) Do you want me? (passing me by)

F G C F G

Do you need me, like I need you too? And do you want me like I want you?
