Standing still    (video)

G - Bm - Em - C

G

1. Guess we knew this was coming on,

Bm Em - C

’cause you're already gone in my head.

G

You can tell me that I'm wrong,

Bm Em - C

that you're staying with me instead.

G Bm

When winter's come along, and summer’s dead and gone,

Em C

is there anything left here to say?

G Bm

I can put my arms around the emptiness I found,

Em C

and find a way to make you stay.

G Bm Em - C

But I'm standing still, I'm standing still, as you leave me now,

G Bm Em - C

I'm standing still, I'm standing still as you're walking out,

G

I'm just standing still.

G

3. Now before I felt so strong,

Bm Em - C

and pieces of me break so easy,

G

what I thought would be the end,

Bm Em - C

is just the feeling that you freed me.

G Bm

Girl, this ain't giving up, it’s knowing where to stop,

Em C

knowing when a thing is over,

G Bm

I know my life is blind, see for the first time

Em C

this ain’t gonna bring us closer.

G Bm Em C

‘Cause I'm standing still, I'm standing still, as you leave me now, yeah,

G Bm Em - C

I'm standing still, I'm standing still as you're walking out,

G - Bm - Em C G - Bm

I'm just standing still. I'm just standing still,

Em C G

as you leave me now, and I'm just standing still.
