Chords

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 . . .

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
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

        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

              Bm       G    A
Are you paaaaaaaaassing me by? (passing me by)
