Capo 1

Intro: G

G
Driving in a fast lane
     Em
Counting mile marker signs
C
The empty seat beside me
G
Keeps you on my mind
G
Living in a heartache
      Em
Was never something I pursued
C
I can't keep on chasing
G
What I can be for you

G                 Em
Ooooh skies are black and blue
          C
Thinking about you
            G
Here in the calm after the storm

G
Tears on a highway
Em
Water in my eyes
    C
This rain ain't gonna change us
    G
So what's the use to cry
G
I can say I'm sorry
   Em
But I don't wanna lie
     C
I just wanna know if staying
    G
Is better than goodbye


G                 Em
Ooooh skies are black and blue
         C
Thinking about you
           G
Here in the calm after the storm
G                  Em
Ooooh after all that we've been through
           C
There ain't nothin' new
         G
Here in the calm after the storm


Solo: G Em C G

G
Maybe I can find you
Em 
Down this broken line
C 
Maybe you can find me
G 
I guess we'll know in time


G                  Em
Ooooh skies are black and blue
         C
Thinking about you
         G
Here in the calm after the storm
             C
There ain't nothin new
         G
Here in the calm after the storm
