Standing Still
Capo:no capo
INTRO: Bm A D (x2)
VERSE:
Bm A D
Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights
Bm A D
Trying to keep it clear but I'm losing it here to the twilight
Bm A D
There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my right
Bm A D
You aren't in sight you aren't in sight
CHORUS:
G Asus4 A G Asus4 A D
Do you want me like I want you or am I standing still
G Em7 A D
Beneath the darkened sky or am I standing still
G Em7 A Bm
With the scenery flying by or am I standing still
G Asus4 F#m Bm G Asus4 A
Out of the corner of my eye, was that you passing me by
VERSE:
Bm A D
Mothers on the stoop, boys in souped-up coupes on this hot summer night
Bm A D
Between fight and flight is the blind man's sight and a choice that's right
Bm A D
I roll the window down, feel like I'm gonna drown in this strange town
Bm A D
I feel broken down I feel broken down
CHORUS:
G Asus4 A G Asus4 A D
Do you need me like I need you or am I standing still
G Em7 A D
Beneath the darkened sky or am I standing still

Out of the corner of my eye, was that you passing me by
BRIDGE:
N.C.
Sweet sorrow, he said call tomorrow
Sweet sorrow, he said call tomorrow
CHORUS
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you want me
Like I want you?
[Chorus]
Or am I standing still
Beneath a 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 2]
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, ah
I feel broken down
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you need me
Like I need you?
[Chorus]
Or am I standing still
Beneath a 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?
[Bridge]
Sweet sorrow—he said, "Call tomorrow"
Sweet sorrow—he said, "Call tomorrow"
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you love me
Like I love you?
[Chorus]
Or am I standing still
Beneath a 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?
[Outro]
Are you passing me by?
Passing me by
(Do you want me?)
Passing me by
Do you need me like I need you too?
(Passing me by)
Do you want me like I want you
(Passing me by)
Or are you passing me by?
Or am I standing still?

version 3
Capo:no capo
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).

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you want me
Like I want you?
[Chorus]
Or am I standing still
Beneath a 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 2]
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, ah
I feel broken down
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you need me
Like I need you?
[Chorus]
Or am I standing still
Beneath a 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?
[Bridge]
Sweet sorrow—he said, "Call tomorrow"
Sweet sorrow—he said, "Call tomorrow"
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you love me
Like I love you?

Or am I standing still
Beneath a 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 passing me by?
Passing me by
