[Intro:]
C Em F C
C
Be still
Em
And go on to bed
F C
Nobody knows what lies ahead
C
And life is short
Em
To say the least
F C
We're in the belly of the beast
Am
Be still
F
Wild and young
C G
Long may your innocence reign
Am
Like shells on the shore
F
And may your limits be unknown
C
And may your efforts be your own
G
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore
Am F
Don't break character
C G
You've got a lot of heart
Am Dm
Is this real or just a dream?
F G Am
Rise up like the sun
F G Am G F
Labor till the work is done
C
Be still
Em
One day you'll leave
F C
Fearlessness on your sleeve
C Em
When you've come back tell me what did you see
F C
Was there something out there for me?
Am
Be still
F
Close your eyes
C G
Soon enough you'll be on your own
Am
Steady and straight
F
And if they drag you through the mud
C
It doesn't change what's in your blood
Over chains
G
When they knock you down
Am F
Don't break character
C G
You've got a lot of heart
Am Dm
Is this real or just a dream?
C Em
Be still
F C
Be still
C Em
Be still
F C
Be still
Am F
Over rock and chain
C
Over sunset plain
G
Over trap and snare
Am
When you're in too deep
F
In your wildest dream
C
In your made up scheme
G
When they knock you down
Am
When they knock you down
Am F
Don't break character
C G
You've got so much heart
Am Dm
Is this real or just a dream?
F G Am
Rise up like the sun
F G Am G F
Labor till the work is done
F G Am
Rise up like the sun
F G Am G F
Labor till the work is done
F G Am
Rise up like the sun
F G Am G F
Labor till the work is done
End on F
