Sit Still

Intro 
Em  G  Am  Em 
C   G  Em  G 


 
Em             G 
It's just like anything 
          Am               Em 
There's a limit, there's a line 
             C            G              D         G 
If you don't work certain muscles in too long of a time 
      Em           G             Am              Em 
And I bet the rust came when the wine changed to water 
        C         G               D         G 
Now the red in my heart, it looks closer to copper 
 

 
           Em          G 
You draw a line in the sand 
        Am            Em 
Digging nails in your skin 
        C            G            D         G 
And you don't let it end once you feel it begin 
D      Em         G            Am            Em 
Let it all settle here in your home, in your head 
       C       G           D          G 
And in so many words the entire world said 
 

 
G             Am 
Round off the edges 
              C 
Can't you sit still? 
              G            D/F#          Em 
I used to get high off the lows, used to feel 
                 Am                   C 
I'm stuck in the middle and giving no ground 
             G                D/F#       Em 
Go ahead and miss me, brother, I've left town 
      Am                         C 
Oh, I left piece by piece, but I act like Im whole 
    G              D/F#          Em 
And poured out the glass just to know it was full 
Am                           C 
Poured out the glass just to know it was full 
 

 
Em         G 
Born to be good 
    Am           Em 
And raised to be special 
    C             G             D              G 
But took too much time spending life at ground level 
         Em        G              Am        Em 
A letter changes a lot in "he has so much potential" 
         C              G               D       G 
More and more, the past tense has crept into my present 
 

 
       Am                  C 
Do you wander aimless 'til you're medicated 
   G                    D 
Or until your legs give out? 
       Am                 C 
Oh, if forward wasnt the only direction 
    G                    D 
God knows I'd be lost by now 
 

 
                 Am 
So round off the edges 
              C 
Can't you sit still? 
              G            D/F#          Em 
I used to get high off the lows, used to feel 
                 Am                   C 
I'm stuck in the middle and giving no ground 
             G                D/F#       Em 
Go ahead and miss me, brother, I've left town 
      Am                         C 
Oh, I left piece by piece, but I act like Im whole 
    G              D/F#          Em 
And poured out the glass just to know it was full 
    Am          C      G 
I'd kill to sit still
