Intro
G GM7 C G C G GM7 C
 
 
Verse 1
G
 We drank, and I convinced you that the wildfire smog was the Northern 
Lights
G
 Lately, I've been lookin' at you harder, just takin' you in
G
 At the callus on your fingers from the handbrake grips on your junkyard bikes
G
 Your boots so filled with water, I mean, soakin' wet
 
 
Pre-Chorus
G/B                                                C
    But you could punch me in the gut.
 G                          Am              C
And it wouldn't hurt like watchin' you grow smaller on the back road
Am                               C
  And I never ask for much
 G                         Am           C
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado

Chorus
 Em           G               D     C
Oh, I can't keep on starting over  
 Em                  G                D
Sleepin' in a bed half empty, daydreamin'
C         Em             G                          D     C
 All love must leave, oh, but search for it I will
 Em         G                        D          C   Em G
Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still      
 D
Are you good at staying still?
Are you good at staying still?
 
Post-Chorus
Oh well, will you up and leave?
 C                                            G G/B C G/B C
Or will you be there in the mornin'?                  
 
 
Verse 2
G                                 G/B     C
 I always hated the sunlight  at 3 p m
G                                      G/B              C
 Where it's too soon to quit thinkin', too late to change anythin'
G                                        G/B                       C
 I'm racking my brain for the one line that would change your mind
G                                          G/B                 C
 I'm showin' you plane crashes online, couldn't hurt to try
 
 
Pre-Chorus
G/B                                    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                       Am         C
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado
 
Chorus
C          Em           G               D
 'Cause I can't keep on starting over
C                 Em                 G              D
 Sleepin' in a bed half empty, daydreamin'
C       Em              G                          D     C
 All love must leave, oh, but search for it I will
 Em        G                         D          C
Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still?
 Em        G                          D         C   Em G
Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still      
 D          C  Em G
Are you good at staying still      
 
 
Bridge
Em                           G
   Put in love, put in hours, put in ceremony
C
 As I was, how you were, what was there before me
Em                              G                                         C
  Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, I'll forget about it.
I'll be good, I'll be fine, I can laugh about it
 
Chorus
C     Em        G
 I try to keep on starting over
C                      Em                 G
 I'm sleepin' in a bed half empty, daydreamin'
C       Em              G                           D     C
 All love must leave, oh, but search for it I will
 Em         G                         D         C    Em G
Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still?       
 D        C   Em G
Are you good at staying still?     
 D
Are you good at staying still?
 
Outro
 C
Oh well, will you up and leave?  
Or will you be there in the mornin'?
