G Em C D
G
Calm
Em
The key is to be calm
C
I'm sure that my hands
will settle soon
Just keep them
D
locked at ten and two
G
and carry on
Em
I need to carry on...
C
'cause taking that final look behind me
D
changes nothing but my mind
C
If I stop now
Em
and turn the other way
D
I'm only going back for yester-
D C
Only going back for yesterday
G
And it's okay
Em
We're better off apart but that's
the part of me
D C
that voices things I never meant to say
G
We're like two cars in the night
Em
Your headlights blind me briefly
A
then you're gone
C G
and we continue on our way
Em C D
G
Well
Em
I'm not feeling too well
C
I tried every trick to understand
D
If I seem lost it's 'cause I am and I need
G
Help
Em
I need a little help
C
I've crossed your path so many times
D
but right now yours just isn't mine
C Em
The road is clear, a sign as if to say:
D
It's time you let the past be yester-
D C
Time you let the past be yesterday
G
And it's okay
Em
We're better off apart but that's
the part of me
D C
that voices things I never meant to say
G
We're like two cars in the night
Em
Your headlights blind me briefly
A C G
then you're gone and we continue on our way
Em C D
Em G C D
C Em
And when I think it's far enough away
D
You make me feel like it was yester-
D C
Make me feel like it was yesterday
G
And it's okay
Em
We're better off apart but that's
the part of me
D C
that voices things I never meant to say
G
We're like two cars in the night
Em
Your headlights blind me briefly
D B C
then you're gone and we continue on our way
G
And my exit's on the right
Em
The mile markers counting down
D
the empty minutes of the night
C
and I drive on...
G
Letting limits pass me by
Em
As I search my rearview mirror
D
Not for the dawn
C Cm G
but for the incoming headlights
