E                              A    C#m                        B
  It's just another day in paradise,    as you stumble to your bed
E                  A       C#m                              B
  Give anything to silence,    those voices ringing in your head
C#m                            A         C#m                      A
    You thought you could find happiness,    just over that green hill

[Verse 2]
E                      A        C#m                       B
  Like sheep without a shepherd,    don't know how to be alone
E                          A      C#m                       B
  So we wander around this desert,    wind up following the wrong Gods home
C#m                     A           C#m                          A
    The flock cries out for another,    they keep answering that bell
                                                           / (Break)
C#m                          G#m     A                     B
    One more starry eyed messiah,      meets a violent farewell
N.C.              E     A    E    A                   E     A    E    A
Learn to be still,                  learn to be still

  Now the flowers in your garden,   they don't smell so sweet so sweet
B                %      C#m                          B     %
  Maybe you'd forgotten,    the heaven lying at your feet,   yeah

[Verse 3]
E                         A        C#m                          B
  There are so many contradictions,    in all these messages we send, keep asking
E              A           C#m                B
  How do I get out of here,    where do I fit in
C#m                     A                C#m              A
    Though the world is torn and shaking,    even if your heart is breaking
                                                     / (Break)
C#m                      G#m       A                 B
    It's waiting for you to awaken,  and someday you will,
N.C.              E    A    E    A                   E     A    E    A
Learn to be still,                 learn to be still
 
[Outro]
             E       A          E       A      E     A
Just keep on running,   keep on running,   oh, yeah
 E     A         E        A      E
         Keep on running,    oh, yeah
