Racing The Dark

INTRO:
F C  F C  F C  G C G

VERSE:
           F      C            
There's a red outline where that 
   F              C
diamond used to be
         F            C         
Another time-stamped love ends in 
   G      C G
casualty

   F            C           F    
A one-bedroom apartment is now 
            C
her greatest fear
        F                C     
As the crash of all the memories 
             G      C G C G C G
ring from ear to ear


CHORUS:
              F              C
She's headed north out of Savannah
                F             C
Stretching her pride and gasoline
          F             C
Heart is empty as that red gauge
        G
Asking God to help her see

        F        C
Why he took her there
        F         C
Why he broke her heart
           F           C
Where the wheels will stop
                 G
And the healing starts

        F  C  G
Chasing I-95

N.C.            F   F
And racing the dark


VERSE:
           F         C            
It's been two years now, she's 
   F           C
just starting to see
     F              C             
Her life is hers again and who 
    G
she's gonna be

      F           C               
She's so used to running, can't 
   F               C
get nowhere sitting still
        F              C          
In the silence of the morning, she
            G        C      G
 feels his love and always will


CHORUS:
              F                 
She's headed south bound towards 
    C
Savannah
                F             C
Stretching her pride and gasoline
          F             C
Heart is empty as that red gauge
        G
Asking God to help her see

          F        C
Why'd you go back there
          F        C
When she comes so far
        F      C
If she really stops
                  G   C G
Will the healing start

        F  C  G
Chasing I-95

     G          F  C
And racing the dark

F C  F C G  G C G


VERSE:
           F      C            
There's a red outline where some 
   F            C
roses used to be
      F        C                G
Even standing there, she still can't
 believe

     F            C            
She never saw it coming, thought 
        F              C
she'd be the one to leave
     F           C                
She whispers "I love you" and 
       G        C  G
falls down on her knees


CHORUS:
               F              C
And now she's back home in Savannah
        F                 C
Making friends with memories
              F                C
Her heart is fragile but it's open
          G
Thanking God He helped her see

        F        C
Why He took her there
           F        C
How He'll heal her heart
          F       C
When her running stops
                 G
So her life can start

          F  C  G
Right off I-95
                F  F
And facing the dark

          F  C  G
Right off I-95
N.C.            F  C  F C  F C G C
And facing the dark
