The Eagles Lyrics

LEARN TO BE STILL
The Eagles, from the album "Hell Freezes Over"


intro:
F# B F# B
F# B C# C#

F# B
It's just another day in paradise
D#m C#
As you stumble to your bed
F# B
Give anything to silence
D#m C#
These voices ringing in your head

D#m B
You thought you would find happiness
D#m B
Just over that green hill
D#m A#m
You thought you would be satisfied
B C#
But you never will
F# B F# B
Learn to be still

(verse 2):
Like sheep without a shepherd
Don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
Wind up following the wrong gods home

The flock cries out for another
They keep answering that bell
One more starry eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Bridge:
C#
Now the flowers in your garden
B
They don't smell so sweet so sweet
C#
Maybe you'd forgotten
D#m C#
The heaven lying at your feet

F# F# B B
F# F# B B

Verse 3:
There's so many contradictions
In all these messages we send
Keep asking how do I get out of here
Where do I fit in

Though the world is torn and shakin'
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
Someday you will
Learn to be still

(F# B repeated over and over till end of song).
Learn to be still

Just keep on running

Keep on running....
