Intro:


F# B F#
G#m F#/A# B C#


Verse 1:

F#   G#m         F#    B   F#
Walking on a tightrope
F#   G#m         F#    B   C#
High on all this false hope
F#   G#         F#    B   F#
Through a foggy window
F#    D#m     C#
I can see myself
F#   G#m         F#    B   F#
She says slow and steady
F#   G#m         F#    B   C#
If you were there already
F#   G#         F#    B   F#
You might keep forgetting
F#           D#m      C#
Good things just take time

Chorus:

       B          C#    F#
'Cause I am at a standstill
B                 C#   F#
Maybe I should stand still
        D#m             A#/D          F#      G#/C
'Cause when I'm moving fast again and halfway up the hill
          B              C#      F#             B    F#
I'll be wishing I could stand still

Verse 2:

F#   G#m    F#    B   F#
Hate to even ask it
F#   G#m    F#    B   C#
Has love lost its magic?
F#   G#m    F#    B   F#
Sitting here in traffic
F#           D#m        C#
Wishing we were somewhere else
F#   G#m    F#    B   F#
But I'd rather be with you
F#   G#m    F#    B   C#
Than pretending I don't miss you
F#   G#m    F#    B   F#
Can we just see this through?
F#      D#m      C#
Give it one more try

Chorus:

       B          C#   F#
'Causе we are at standstill
  B              C#      F#
Maybe wе should stand still
        D#m             A#/D        F#      G#
I'm scared it's gonna end, but then again, everything will
    B                C#    F#    B     F#
So baby, let's just stand still

Bridge:

D#m               Bm       F#       B
Standing on the sidelines as people pass you by
Bm          C#        F#   G#m    F#
Smiling in the fast lane
D#m               A#/D       F#       G#
They seem so secure, but I'm pretty sure
    G#m                C#
At some point, they felt the same

Verse 3:

F#   G#m     F#      B     F#
So don't you even sweat it
F#     G#m      F#     B    C#
Everyone's just guessing
F#     G#m       F#      B     F#
It's one of life's great lessons
F#      D#m      C#
To just enjoy the ride

Chorus:

        B         C#     F#
So if you're at a standstill
B             C#     F#
It's okay to stand still
D#m                   A#          F#           G#
You don't have to gain the world to say that you're fulfilled
     B                C#     F#          B        C#         F#
No, you just have to stand still
