Intro: Bm A D (2x)
Verse 1:
Bm A D
Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights
Bm A D
Try to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here to the twilight
Bm
There's a dead end to my left,
A D
There's a burning bush to my right
Bm A D
You aren't in sight, you aren't in sight
Pre-Chorus:
Gmaj7 Asus4 Gmaj7 Asus4
Do you want me, like I want you?
Chorus:
A D Gmaj7 Em7
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
A D Gmaj7 Em7
Am I standing still with the scenery flying by?
A Bm
Am I standing still?
Gmaj7 Asus4
Out of the corner of my eye,
F#m Bm Gmaj7 Asus4 A
Was that you passing me by?
Verse 2: Guitar same as first verse
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 the choice that's right
I roll down the window,
Feel like I'm gonna drown in this strange town
I feel broken down, uh, I feel broken down
Repeat Pre-Chorus & Chorus...
Last line of Chorus:
F#m Bm Gmaj7 Asus4 F#m
Was that you passing me by?
Bridge:
Bm
Sweet sorrow, he said, "Call tomorrow."
Bm
Sweet sorrow, he said, "Call tomorrow."
Pre-Chorus:
Gmaj7 Asus4 Gmaj7 Asus4
Do you love me like I love you?
Repeat Chorus: Same as first time through
Tag: (words in ( ) are the echoes, which overlap
the other lines slightly-just listen and you'll get it)
A D Gmaj7 Asus4 A (D)
Are you pa-a-sing me by (passing me by)
D Gmaj7 Asus4 A (D)
Do you want me (passing me by)
D Gmaj7 Asus4 A
Do you need me like I need you to
D Gmaj7 Asus4 A
Do you want me like I want you
D Gmaj7 Asus4 A
Or are you p-a-a-a-ssing me by
D
Or am I standing still
(Continues on "This Way" w/ D Gmaj7 Asus4 A pattern
& fades out)
