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

G# Fm Cm C#
Just stand still (Just stand still, just stand, just stand still, just stand still)
Just stand still (Still)
Just stand still
Oh, just stand still
Oh, oh, just stand still
