[Intro]
Gm Bb/F Ebmaj7
Look at that cloud hang, up off the lookout hills
Gm Bb/F Ebmaj7
That's where my head is, and I keep banging my shins
Gm Bb/F Ebmaj7
There's another world, above this one
Gm Bb/F Ebmaj9
That's where I'm trying to live, But I get dragged down
Gm9 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7
Gm9 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7
Gm9 Bb/F Ebmaj7
There's another world, better than this one
Gm Bb/F Ebmaj7
And that's where I've trying to live, but I get dragged down
Gm9 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7
Gm9 Bbmaj7/F Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7
[Chorus]
Gm Bb/F Ebmaj7 Bb/F
Stand still, stand still, can we just stand still
Gm Bb/F Ebmaj7 Bb
Stand still, come on stand still, no no no no no stand still
[Verse 1]
Bb Gm
This whole town is keys and getting along
Bb F Ebmaj7
All the buildings there are blocking sun and blocking sun
Bb Gm
I know it's you who's rushing to the light
Bb F Eb
With their open mouths and appetites, they ate the ground and now the sky
Eb
Roll it out like pigeon wire
[Chorus]
Eb Bb/D Eb Bb/D
Can't they just stand still, stand still, can't they just stand still
Eb Bb/D Ebmaj7 Bb
Stand still, stand still, can't we just stand still
[Verse 2]
Bb Gm
So we packed our bags and headed west
Bb F Ebmaj7
She said I know a place where they can't get, where they can't get us
Bb Gm
She slid my tired fingers into hers
Bb Gm F
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]
Ebmaj9 Bb/D Eb Bb
Can't we just stand still, stand still, can't we just stand still
Ebmaj7 Bb/D Ebmaj7 Bb
Stand still, let our lungs fill, can we just stand still
[Bridge]
Eb Bb
That's what I'm talking about
Eb Bb F Eb
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
Eb Bb F Eb
Lock me in the mist of the southeast hill
Bb
Hide me in the old crow black night
Eb Bb F Eb
Hide me from the masochistic marking of time
Bb
I will stand like a mountain
Eb Bb F Eb
I will stand like a tuckamore stuck in the wind
Bb
Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb Bb F
Listen to the drumming it's so slow
Eb Bb
Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb Bb F
Listen to the drumming it's so slow
Eb Bb
Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb Bb F
Listen to the drum of the gulf going
Eb
stand still
