GmBb/FEbmaj7
Look at that cloud hang, up off the lookout hills
GmBb/FEbmaj7
That's where my head is, and I keep banging my shins
GmBb/FEbmaj7
There's another world, above this one
GmBb/FEbmaj9
That's where I'm trying to live, But I get dragged down
Gm9Bbmaj7/FEbmaj7Gm9Bbmaj7/FEbmaj7Gm9Bb/FEbmaj7
There's another world, better than this one
GmBb/FEbmaj7
And that's where I've trying to live, but I get dragged down
Gm9Bbmaj7/FEbmaj7Gm9Bbmaj7/FEbmaj7Ebmaj7
[Chorus]
GmBb/FEbmaj7Bb/F
Stand still, stand still, can we just stand still
GmBb/FEbmaj7Bb
Stand still, come on stand still, no no no no no stand still
[Verse 1]
BbGm
This whole town is keys and getting along
BbFEbmaj7
All the buildings there are blocking sun and blocking sun
BbGm
I know it's you who's rushing to the light
BbFEb
With their open mouths and appetites, they ate the ground and now the sky
Eb
Roll it out like pigeon wire
[Chorus]
EbBb/DEbBb/D
Can't they just stand still, stand still, can't they just stand still
EbBb/DEbmaj7Bb
Stand still, stand still, can't we just stand still
[Verse 2]
BbGm
So we packed our bags and headed west
BbFEbmaj7
She said I know a place where they can't get, where they can't get us
BbGm
She slid my tired fingers into hers
BbGmF
And it was sunlight touching every curve, every scar,
Ebmaj7
And this will be the moment that breaks my heart
Where the time creeps in and we grow apart
[Chorus]
Ebmaj9Bb/DEbBb
Can't we just stand still, stand still, can't we just stand still
Ebmaj7Bb/DEbmaj7Bb
Stand still, let our lungs fill, can we just stand still
[Bridge]
EbBb
That's what I'm talking about
EbBbFEb
Her sneakered feet hardly hitting the ground
Bb
Thoughts like a rush hour downtown
Eb Bb N.C. Eb
You're either sticking or pump-pumping 'em out
Bb
Drop me in the dark green
EbBbFEb
Lock me in the mist of the southeast hill
Bb
Hide me in the old crow black night
EbBbFEb
Hide me from the masochistic marking of time
Bb
I will stand like a mountain
EbBbFEb
I will stand like a tuckamore stuck in the wind
Bb
Listen to the drum of the gulf go
EbBbF
Listen to the drumming it's so slow
EbBb
Listen to the drum of the gulf go
EbBbF
Listen to the drumming it's so slow
EbBb
Listen to the drum of the gulf go
EbBbF
Listen to the drum of the gulf going
Eb
stand still
