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)

bought the official tab and noticed some differences between this version and the official. Watched Jewel play this live and realized the official tab got it wrong. Just in case anyone is wondering, the official tab says to play D/G instead of G in the chorus, and a Bmin9 instead of a Bm after the F#m at the end of the chorus. But, like I said, from watching her live, she is actually playing G and Bm. Anyways, this tab is extremely accurate. Good work mate.
