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
