Be Still

Afinação: Eb

[INTRO: E - D (3x)  E - D - E - D]

        E                       D
After all these years tryin’ to set it free
        E                       D
The pain seems to fade but it never leaves
        E                       D                       E       D
The memories haunt me and I wish they’d let me be. Yeah!
   C#m          B      A
I gambled on love
        C#m        B    A
and it tore me apart
       C#m      B          A
Be still, be still, be still,

             E      D
My broken heart
             E      D
Be still my heart!

     E                                     D
I wasn’t born wise but I learned this much
                E                       D
Though you took all I gave it was never enough
                E                              D                        E       D
There was a time I’d have died for your soul, your strength, your touch
            C#m      B                A
But I’ll leave it behind,
        C#m             B        A
try to make a new start
       C#m       B         A
Be still, be still, be still,

            E     D
My broken heart
               E
Let the pain fade away!

               A                                B
It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dream
         C#m                            A
You lit fire to my soul and you said you’d never leave
        A                   B
It’s tearin’ me up, baby, where have you been?

     C#m           B         A
Oh, please, oh please, oh please!

C#m         B          A
please just understand me
     C#m      B        A
And what this nonsense means. oh, yeah!

[SOLO: E - D (4X)]
                E         D      E
Let the pain fade away!

E                  D                    E       D
I’ll never know how I coulda ben so blind
C#m             B      A
I gambled on love
        C#m        B    A
and it tore me apart
       C#m      B          A
Be still, be still, be still,
                E
My broken heart
