G Driving in a fast lane Em7 Counting bound'ry marker signs Cadd9 The empty seat beside me G Keeps you on my mind
G Living in a heartache Em7 There is something I pursue Cadd9 I can keep on chasing G What I can be for you
[Chorus]
GEm7 Oooo skies are black and blue Cadd9 Thinking about you G Here in the calm after the storm
[Verse]
G Tears on a highway Em7 Water in my eyes Cadd9 This rain ain’t gonna change us G So I still used to cry
G I could say I’m sorry Em7 But I don’t wanna lie Cadd9 I just wanna know if staying G Is better than goodbye
[Chorus]
GEm7 Oooo skies are black and blue Cadd9 Thinking about you G Here in the calm after the storm GEm7 Oooo after all that we’ve been through Cadd9 There ain’t nothin’ new G Here in the calm after the storm
