Noah (Stand Still)

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
G  Em7   Bm7  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
             G                   Em7
When I turned twenty, I was overcome
           Bm7                                C
With the thought that I might not turn twenty one
               G                            Em7
Death upon my doorstep, if I took just one more step
            Bm7                             C
There'd be nothing left of me except these songs
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                                     Em7
And my father told me "Noah, when you don't know where you're going
          Bm7                      C
Just stand still, soon enough you will
         G                                   Em7
And when all the hope and joy you feel turns into paranoia
           Bm7                     C
'Cause it will, remember just stand still"
             G    Em7
Just stand still
          Bm7     C
Just stand still, oh
 
 
[Verse 2]
            G                            Em7
Six months sober, but nothing much has changed
           Bm7                             C
Life's not over but I'm feeling twice the pain
             G                             Em7
And I'm not bеtter, but I'm not quite the samе
              Bm7                            C
But it keeps coming, so I keep countin' the days
 
 
[Chorus]
             G                                  Em7
And my grandfather told my father "It don't get easier, just harder
        Bm7                     C
Yes it will, remember just stand still
         G                                   Em7
And when all the hope and joy you feel turns into paranoia
           Bm7                     C
'Cause it will, remember just stand still"
             G    Em7
Just stand still
          Bm7      C
Just stand still, yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
             G
Just stand still and watch the sunset bleed
     D/F#                          Bm7            C
With only dirt under your feet to feel, just stand still
       G                             D/F#                           Bm7
Sixty seven thousand miles an hour around the sun and that is how it feels
          C
Just stand still
     G
In a universe that's infinite
    Em7                            Bm7
Yet everything gets lost in it, you will
          C
Just stand still
           G                                 Em7                         Bm7
You'll be right, you'll be wrong, you'll be fine 'cause life goes on and on, until
   C
Until
 
 
[Outro]
       G         Em7   Bm7   C
Just stand still               (Just stand still, Just stand, Just stand still, Just stand still, still)
       G         Em7
Just stand still     (Just stand still, Just stand, Just stand still, Just stand still)
          Bm7    C
Just stand still  (Still)
       G         Em7
Just stand still
              Bm7
Oh, just stand still
C                 G
Oh, oh, just stand still
