Lyrics

Far (Am7)a way from it all,

you and (Am7)me with no (Cmaj7)one else a (Am7)round.

A brand new (Cmaj7)start

(Am7)is all we need; it’s all (Am7)we need to mend these (Am7)hearts

(Cmaj7)back to the (Am7)be gin ning.

Be (Dm7)still;

let it go.

Be fore

(Am7)we lost (Am7)hope,

when we still touched, and love (Am7)was n’t so hard...

Be (Dm7)still;

I al read y know.

Fool ish (C7)one with the smile, you don’t have to be brave.

Ev ’ry (C7)time we fall down, but we’re fall ing from grace.

I’ll glad ly (C7)climb your walls if you’ll meet me half way.

(CN.C.)Slow,

slow it (Cmaj7)down.

Why do (Am7)we run?

We’re miss ing (Cmaj7)so much, (Am7)babe; just (Cmaj7)lay

in my (Cmaj7)arms for (Am7)a while, and be (Dm7)still;

we should ’ve known.

Fool ish (C7)one with the smile, you don’t have to be brave.

I’ll glad ly (C7)climb your walls if you’ll meet me half way.

Ev ’ry (C7)time we fall down, but we’re fall ing from grace.

Here’s my (C7)hand and my heart; it’s yours to

take.

Be (Am7)still;

be (Am7)still, now.

Be (Am7)still;

be (Am7)still, now.

be still.
