Sit Still

Intro 
D     G  A Bm    G 


[Verse 1]

 D                           D  G 
Homesick for a home I don’t have 

What a shame I didn’t fit in 
          A              Bm7 
'Cause I don’t look like them 
                  Bm              G 
I was trying and trying to crawl out of my skin 

       D 
I was livin gwith my parents 

Sleeping in that car 
 G                                   A 
Trying to plant roots in a concrete floor 

 Bm                                            G 
Waking up in cities I’ve never heard of before 
N.C. 
And I’ve been thinkin' 


[Chorus]

 D 
Old me 
                     G    A 
Left my heart in Missouri 
       Bm 
Never felt this alive and 
                          G 
For the first time in my life 

I need a minute to breathe in 

 D 
Slowly 
                       G         A 
Left the pine for the palm trees 
       Bm 
Never felt this alive and 
                          G 
For the first time in my life 
N.C. 
I’ve been dying to sit still 


[Verse 1]

 D 
Snuck out for the homecoming crown 
 G 
Didn’t give a damn if I win 
                A         Bm 
Knew I’d never see them again 
                                        G 
Looking back I wouldn’t do it any different 

           D 
Built too many glass ceilings 

I’m responsible for 
 G                                     A 
Died upon that hill of letting no one close 
 Bm 
Changing all the ways I’ve behaved before 
 G 
Running through the fields 
    N.C. 
And I’ve been thinking 


[Chorus]

 D 
Old me 
                     G    A 
Left my heart in Missouri 
       Bm 
Never felt this alive and 
                          G 
For the first time in my life 

I need a minute to breathe in 

 D 
Slowly 
                       G         A 
Left the pine for the palm trees 
      Bm 
Never felt this alive and 
                          G 
For the first time in my life 
N.C. 
I’ve been dying to sit still 


Break 
 G     A      Bm 
Took another trip 
  Bm    A   D 
Around the Sun 
 A         G      A  Bm7  a 
And watch traffic go by 


[Chorus]

 D 
Old me 
                     G    A 
Left my heart in Missouri 
       Bm 
Never felt this alive and 
                          G 
For the first time in my life 
N.C. 
I need a minute to breathe in 

 D 
Slowly 
                       G         A 
Left the pine for the palm trees 
       Bm 
Never felt this alive and 
                          G 
For the first time in my life 

I’ve been dying to sit still
