Verse 1:
Bb
Guess we knew this was coming on
Dm Gm Eb F
Cause you're already gone in my head

You can tell me that I'm wrong

That you're staying with me instead
Bb
When winter has come along

I can put my arms around
Dm
The emptiness I found
Gm Eb F
And find a way to make you stay

But I'm standing still

I'm just standing still

Bb
Now before I felt so strong
Dm Gm Eb
Pieces of me break so easy
Bb
What I thought would be the end
Dm Gm Eb F
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 the thing is over
Bb
I know my life is blind
Dm
I see for the first time
Gm Eb
Things ain't gonna bring us closer

But I'm standing still

I'm standing still
