[Intro]

Bb Dm Gm Eb

[Verse 1]

              Bb
Guess we knew this was coming on 
       Dm                     Gm      Eb
'Cause you're already gone in my head
        Bb
You can tell me that I'm wrong
Dm                          Gm      Eb
That you're staying with me instead 

[Pre-chorus]

     Bb
When winter's come along 
    Dm
And summer's dead and gone 
         Gm                    Eb
Is there anything left here to say?
      Bb                     Dm
I can put my arms around the emptiness I found 
    Gm                     Eb
And find a way to make you stay 

[Chorus]

                 Bb
But I'm standing still 
             Dm
I'm standing still
                Gm  Eb 
As you leave me now 
             Bb
I'm standing still
             Dm    
I'm standing still
                  Gm 
As you're walking out 
      Eb                  
Yeah, I'm just standing still

[Verse 2]

      Bb             
Now before I felt so strong 
    Dm                    Gm   Eb
And pieces of me break so easy 
       Bb
What I thought would be the end 
   Dm                        Gm       Eb
Is just the feeling that you freed me 
      Bb
Girl, this ain't giving up 
     Dm
It's knowing where to stop 
Gm                      Eb
Knowing when a thing is over 
  Bb
I know my life is blind 
Dm
See for the first time 
Gm                        Eb
This ain't gonna bring us closer 

[Chorus]

                 Bb
But I'm standing still 
             Dm
I'm standing still
                Gm  Eb 
As you leave me now 
             Bb
I'm standing still
             Dm    
I'm standing still
                  Gm 
As you're walking out 
      Eb                  
Yeah, I'm just standing still

[Pre-chorus]

     Bb
When winter's come along 
    Dm
And summer's dead and gone 
         Gm                    Eb
Is there anything left here to say?
      Bb                     Dm

And find a way to make you stay
