LEARN TO BE STILL (Don Henley)
INTRO: D G D G D G D G
D G Bm A A4
It's just another day in paradise as you stumble to your bed
D G Bm A A4
You'd give anything for silence those voices ringing in your head
Bm G Bm G
You thought you could find happiness just over that green hill
Bm F#m G A
You thought you would be satisfied but you never will
D G D G
Learn to be still
D G Bm A A4
We are like sheep without a shepherd we don't know how to be alone
D G Bm A A4
so we wander' round this desert and wind up following the wrong gods home
Bm G Bm G
But the flock cries out for another and they keep answering that bell
Bm F#m G A
And one more starry-eyed messiah meets a violent farewell
D G D G
Learn to be still learn to be still
A A4 A G
Now the flowers in your garden they don't smell so sweet
A A4 A Bm A A4
Maybe you've forgotten the heaven lying at your feet
D G D G
D G Bm A
There are so many contradictions in all these messages we send
A4 D G D A A4 A
(We keep asking ) How do I get out of here? Where do I fit in?
Bm G Bm G
Though the world is torn and shaken even if your heart is breakin'
Bm F#m G A
It's waiting for you to awaken and someday you will
D G D G D G D G
Learn to be still learn to be still
D G D G D G D
You just keep on runnin' keep on runnin'
