Alan Jackson – Racing The Dark (Guitar)

           F      C               F              C
There's a red outline where that diamond used to be

         F            C            G      C G
Another time-stamped love ends in casualty

   F            C           F                C
A one-bedroom apartment is now her greatest fear

        F                C                  G      C G C G C G
As the crash of all the memories ring from ear to ear

              F              C
She's headed north out of Savannah

                F             C
Stretching her pride and gasoline

          F             C
Heart is empty as that red gauge

        G
Asking God to help her see

        F        C
Why he took her there

        F         C
Why he broke her heart

           F           C
Where the wheels will stop

                 G
And the healing starts

        F  C  G
Chasing I-95

N.C.            F   F
And racing the dark

           F         C               F           C
It's been two years now, she's just starting to see

     F              C                 G
Her life is hers again and who she's gonna be

      F           C                  F               C
She's so used to running, can't get nowhere sitting still

        F              C                      G        C      G
In the silence of the morning, she feels his love and always will

              F                     C
She's headed south bound towards Savannah

                F             C
Stretching her pride and gasoline

          F             C
Heart is empty as that red gauge

        G
Asking God to help her see

          F        C
Why'd you go back there

          F        C
When she comes so far

        F      C
If she really stops

                  G   C G
Will the healing start

        F  C  G
Chasing I-95

     G          F  C
And racing the dark

           F      C               F            C
There's a red outline where some roses used to be

      F        C                G
Even standing there, she still can't believe

     F            C                    F              C
She never saw it coming, thought she'd be the one to leave

     F           C                       G        C  G
She whispers "I love you" and falls down on her knees

               F              C
And now she's back home in Savannah

        F                 C
Making friends with memories

              F                C
Her heart is fragile but it's open

          G
Thanking God He helped her see

        F        C
Why He took her there

           F        C
How He'll heal her heart

          F       C
When her running stops

                 G
So her life can start

          F  C  G
Right off I-95

                F  F
And facing the dark

          F  C  G
Right off I-95

N.C.            F  C  F C  F C G C
And facing the dark
