Here's another jewel trascription - a little more complete.
I usually use a lot of chord substitutions & such when I play this,
this is just a very elemental version of what I play when I play this
song out. Remember the various D's, A's, & B's that you can play during
this song to emphasise the words & changes (ex.Dsus2 or Dsus4).
Have fun . . . Ian . . .

Jewel - Standing Still

[INTRO:]  Bm   A   D   (x2)

[VERSE:]
Bm                  A                   D
Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights
   Bm                                      A         D
Trying to keep it clear, but I?m losing it here to the twilight
    Bm                                          A       D
There?s a dead end to my left, there?s a burning bush to my right
       Bm           A         D
You aren?t in sight       you aren?t in sight
______________________________________________________
[CHORUS:]
G   Asus4   A          G  Asus4   A                        D
Do  you   want me,   like   I    want you or  am I standing still
  G                 Em7     A              D
Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still
        G               Em7    A           Bm
With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still
         G           Asus4   F#m       Bm   G        Asus4  A
Out of the corner of my eye,   was that you passing me by

[VERSE:]
Bm                                   A                D
Mothers on the stoop, boys in souped-up coupes, on this hot summer night.
    Bm                               A                  D
Between fight and flight, is the blind man?s sight, and a choice that?s right.
Bm                             A                 D
I roll the window down, feel like I?m gonna drown, in this strange town.
       Bm          A         D
Feel broken down       I feel broken down

[CHORUS:]
G   Asus4   A          G  Asus4   A                        D
Do  you   need me,   like   I    need you or  am I standing still
  G                 Em7     A              D
Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still
        G               Em7    A           Bm
With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still
         G           Asus4   F#m       Bm   G        Asus4  A
Out of the corner of my eye,   was that you passing me by

  G                 Em7     A              D
Beneath the darkened sky, or am I standing still
        G               Em7    A           Bm
With the scenery flying by, or am I standing still
         G           Asus4   F#m       Bm   G        Asus4  A
Out of the corner of my eye,   was that you passing me by
              Bm       G    A
Are you paaaaaaaaassing me by? (passing me by)
Do you want me? (passing me by)
Bm     G       A      Asus4   A
Do you need me, like I need you too?

And do you want me like I want you?

Are you passing me by  (X2)  (or am I standing still)
