Be Still

[E] – [D] (3x)  [E] – [D] – [E] – [D] ]

After a[E]ll these years tryi[D]n’ to set it free
The pa[E]in seems to fade bu[D]t it never leaves
The me[E]mories haunt me and[D] I wish they’d let me[E] be. Yea[D]h!
I g[C#m]ambled on love [B]        [A]
and it[C#m] tore me apa[B]rt     [A]
Be stil[C#m]l, be sti[B]ll, be stil[A]l,

My broken h[E]eart       [D]
Be still my h[E]eart!      [D]

I was[E]n’t born wise but I learned this much [D]
Though you t[E]ook all I gave it w[D]as never enough
There was a [E]time I’d have died for you[D]r soul, your streng[E]th, you[D]r touch
But I’ll l[C#m]eave it b[B]ehind,         [A]
try to[C#m] make a new start[B]         [A]
Be stil[C#m]l, be stil[B]l, be stil[A]l,

My broken [E]heart    [D]
Let the pain fa[E]de away!

It was the he[A]at of the moment in the h[B]eart of a dream
You lit[C#m] fire to my soul and you sa[A]id you’d never leave
It’s t[A]earin’ me up, bab[B]y, where have you been?

Oh, p[C#m]lease, oh pl[B]ease, oh ple[A]ase!
[C#m]please just u[B]nderstand me  [A]
And w[C#m]hat this [B]nonsense [A]means. oh, yeah!

[E] – [D] (4X)]

Let the pain[E] fade away[D]!      [E]

[D] – [C] – [A] – [B]
…

I gav[E]e up my dreams to let you[D] inside
Boy, you sure too[E]k my momma;s little boy for a[D] ride
[E]I’ll never know [D]how I coulda ben so b[E]lind   [D]
[C#m]I gambled on lo[B]ve     [A]
and it[C#m] tore me apa[B]rt     [A]
Be stil[C#m]l, be sti[B]ll, be stil[A]l,
My broken he[E]art
Be stil[C#m]l, be sti[B]ll, be stil[A]l,

My broken [E]heart      [D]
Be still my he[E]art!       [D]
My broken [E]heart      [D]
Let the pain f[E]ade away!      [D]

Just a[E] small town floozy a ’nam[D]e’ a backwater lucy,
Drivin’ me [E]down and down and do[D]wn and down  [E]
(be still my[D] heart) oh[E] yeah!!  [D]
That’s what [E]I get for bein’ lazy, [D]woman’s drivin’ me crazy
Drivin’ me [E]down and down and do[D]wn and down  [E]
(be still my[D] heart) oh[E] yeah!!  [D]
