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
