Old Crow Black Night Stand Still

Gm                      Bb/F                       Ebmaj7
 Look at that cloud hang, up off the lookout hills
Gm                      Bb/F                          Ebmaj7
 That's where my head is, and I keep banging my shins
Gm                    Bb/F              Ebmaj7
 There's another world, above this one
Gm                              Bb/F                      Ebmaj9
 That's where I'm trying to live, But I get dragged down

Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7
Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7

Gm9                  Bb/F                   Ebmaj7
There's another world, better than this one
Gm                                  Bb/F                      Ebmaj7
And that's where I've trying to live, but I get dragged down

Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7
Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7  Ebmaj7

[Chorus]
Gm           Bb/F                     Ebmaj7      Bb/F
Stand still, stand still, can we just stand still
Gm                   Bb/F                        Ebmaj7       Bb
Stand still, come on stand still, no no no no no stand still

[Verse 1]
Bb                           Gm
 This whole town is keys and getting along
Bb                          F                Ebmaj7
 All the buildings there are blocking sun and blocking sun
Bb                             Gm
 I know it's you who's rushing to the light
Bb                         F               Eb
 With their open mouths and appetites, they ate the ground and now the sky
Eb
 Roll it out like pigeon wire

[Chorus]
                Eb           Bb/D                         Eb          Bb/D
Can't they just stand still, stand still, can't they just stand still
Eb           Bb/D                       Ebmaj7      Bb
Stand still, stand still, can't we just stand still

[Verse 2]
Bb                         Gm
 So we packed our bags and headed west
Bb                             F                     Ebmaj7
 She said I know a place where they can't get, where they can't get us
Bb                         Gm
 She slid my tired fingers into hers
Bb                            Gm           F
 And it was sunlight touching every curve, every scar,
    Ebmaj7
And this will be the moment that breaks my heart
Where the time creeps in and we grow apart

[Chorus]
              Ebmaj9       Bb/D                       Eb          Bb
Can't we just stand still, stand still, can't we just stand still
Ebmaj7               Bb/D                    Ebmaj7      Bb
Stand still, let our lungs fill, can we just stand still

[Bridge]
Eb               Bb
 That's what I'm talking about
Eb             Bb          F           Eb
 Her sneakered feet hardly hitting the ground
                Bb
Thoughts like a rush hour downtown
Eb             Bb N.C.                      Eb
 You're either sticking or pump-pumping 'em out
               Bb
Drop me in the dark green
Eb              Bb           F         Eb
 Lock me in the mist of the southeast hill
               Bb
Hide me in the old crow black night
Eb                Bb          F          Eb
 Hide me from the masochistic marking of time
                     Bb
 I will stand like a mountain
Eb                   Bb        F            Eb
 I will stand like a tuckamore stuck in the wind
               Bb
 Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb             Bb            F
 Listen to the drumming it's so slow
Eb             Bb
 Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb             Bb            F
 Listen to the drumming it's so slow
Eb             Bb
 Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb             Bb          F
 Listen to the drum of the gulf going
Eb
stand still
