Staying Still

 
G6                                     Em7                Cmaj7 
Drinkin', I convince you that the wildfire smog is the Northern Lights 
G6                                       Em7         Cmaj7 
Oh, lately, I've been lookin' at you harder, just takin' you in 
G6                                     Em7                    Cmaj7 
The callus on your fingers from the handbrake grips on your junkyard bikes 
G6                             Em7           Cmaj7 
Your boots still filled with water, I mean, soakin' wet 
 

 
G6 
But you could punch me in the gut 
Cmaj7                        G6              Am            C 
And it wouldn't hurt like watchin' you go smaller on the back road 
Am                      C 
And I never ask for Much 
                         G               Am         C/G 
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado 
 

 
C/G  Em        G      D 
Oh, I can't keep on startin' over 
C/G            Em           G           D 
Sleepin' in a bed half empty, daydreamin' 
C/G    Em       G                      D       C/G 
Our love must leave, oh, but search for it, I will 
Em             G 
Honey, tell me 
                   D      C/G   Em 
Are you good at staying still? 
G                          D 
Are you good at staying still? 
 

 
Oh will you up and leave 
     C/G 
Or will you b there in the mornin'? 
 

 
G6                  Em7      Cmaj7 
Always hated in sunlight at 3PM 
G6                            Em7              Cmaj7 
When it's too late to quit thinkin', and too late to change anythin' 
G6                        Em7                  Cmaj7 
Rackin' my brain for the one line that would change your mind 
G6                           Em7               Cmaj7 
Showin' you plane crashes online, it wouldn't hurt to try 
 

 
Em7                          G 
But the Charles meets the Sun 
                            G            Am    C/G 
And the Harvard track team runs past my truck stuck on Storrow 
Am                   C 
And I never ask for much 
                        G6               Am        C/G 
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado 
 

 
C/G  Em         G      D 
Oh, I can't keep on startin' over 
C/G            Em           G           D 
Sleepin' in a bed half empty, daydreamin' 
C/G    Em       G                     D       C/G 
Our love must leave, oh, but search for it, I will 
    Em 
Honey, tell me 
G                   D      C/G   Em 
Are you good at staying still? 
G                  D      C/G 
Are you good at staying still? 
G 
 

 
Em                   G6 
What a love, what a vow, what a ceremony 
Cmaj7 
As I was, how you were, what was there before me 
Em                  G6 
Never mind, never mind, I'll forget about it 
Cmaj7 
I'll be good, I'll be fine, I can laugh about it 
 

 
Cmaj7   Em      G                 C/G 
   I try to keep on starting over 
                Em             G 
(Sleeping in a bed half empty, daydreamin') 
C/G       Em       G                   D       C/G 
Our love must leave, oh, but search for it, I will 
C/G      Em 
Honey, tell me 
G.                D       C/G 
Are you good at staying still? (Oh) 
G                  D      C/G 
Are you good at staying still? (Oh) 
G                  D     C/G 
Are you good at staying still? 
 

 
D 
Where will you up and leave 
C/G 
Or will you be there in the mornin'?
