Staying Still Chords by Noah Kahan

[Intro]

G Em D C G
G Em D C G

[Verse 1]

G                                     Em
We drank and I convinced you that the
                        C             G
wildfire smog is the northern lights
G                                   Em
But lately I've been looking at you harder,
     C
just taking you in
G                                    Em
The callous on your fingers from the
                           C        G
handbreak grips on your junkyard bike
G                          Em
Your boots all filled with water, I mean,
C
soaking wet

[Pre-Chorus]

Am                            C
But you could punch me in the gut
                          G
And it wouldn't hurt like watching you
     Am             C
grow smaller on the backroad
Am                  C
And I never ask for much,
                      G
But I hope that Logan crumbles and
     Am       C
gets hit by a tornado

[Chorus]

C  N.C.
Oh I
Em N.C.
Can't keep
G    N.C.     D/F#
On starting over
C   N.C.      Em  N.C.    G
Sleeping in a bed half empty
 N.C.      D/F#
Daydreaming
C
All love
Em
Must leave
G       D/F#
Oh, but search for it,
C
I will
       Em
Honey, tell me
G       D/F#            C      Em   G
Are you good at staying still?
G       D/F#                C
Are you good at staying still?
Or well, will you up and leave
               C
or will you be there in the morning

[Instrumental]

G Em D/F# C G

[Verse 2]

  G                Em           C    G
I always hated the sunlight, at 3 pm
G                           Em
Where it's too soon to quit thinking,
        C              G
but too late to change anything
    G                        Em
I'm racking my brain for the one line
     C           G
that would change your mind
G                         Em
Showing you plane crashes online,
   C            Am
it couldn't hurt to try

[Pre-Chorus]

Am                        C
But the Charles meets the sun
                           G
And the Harvard track team runs,
        Am              C
Past my truck, stuck on Storrow
Am                  C
And I never ask for much, 
                      G
but I hope that Logan crumbles and
     Am       C
gets hit by a tornado

[Chorus]

 C  N.C.
'Cause I
Em N.C.
Can't keep
G    N.C.     D/F#
On starting over
C   N.C.      Em  N.C.   G
Sleeping in a bed half empty
 N.C.      D/F#
Daydreamin'
C
All love
Em
Must leave
G                 D/F#  C
Oh, but search for it I will
    Em      G
Honey, tell me
        D/F#            C
Are you good at staying still
    Em       G
Honey, tell me
        D/F#            C      Em  G D/F#
Are you good at staying still
        D/F#            C      Em  G
Are you good at staying still

[Bridge]

C            Em
Put in love, put in hours,
       G      D/F#
put in ceremony
C          Em          G
As it was, how you were
           D/F#
What was there before me
C          Em
Nevermind, nevermind,
     G       D/F#      C
I'll forget about it
           Em           G
I'll be good, I'll be fine,
      D/F#         C
I can laugh about it

[Chorus]

C N.C.
I try
Em  N.C.
To keep
G  N.C.           C
On starting over
                 Em           G       D/F#
(oh sleeping in a bed half empty, day dreaming)
C
All love
Em
Must leave
G       D/F#            C
Oh, but search for it I will
C      Em      G
Honey, tell me
        D/F#            C      Em  G
are you good at staying still
G       D/F#            C      Em  G
Are you good at staying still
G       D/F#               D/F# N.C.
Are you good at staying still or well,
will you up and leave,
    C
Or will you be there in the morning
