Cuttin' through the darkest night in my two headlights

 G

Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here to the twilight

Out of the corner of my eye

Mothers on a stoop, boys in souped-up coupes on this hot summer night

 Am                                           
 G      
 C
Between fight and flight is the blind man's sight & the choice that's right

 Am                                           
 G    
 C
I roll the window down feels like I'm gonna drown in this strange town

 Am

 C
I feel broken down,  I feel broken down

Like I ---- need you
