LEARN TO BE STILL

The Eagles, from the album "Hell Freezes Over"

================================================

intro:

It's just another day in paradise

As you stumble to your bed

Give anything to silence

These voices ringing in your head

You thought you would find happiness

Just over that green hill

You thought you would be satisfied

But you never will

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:

Now the flowers in your garden

They don't smell so sweet so sweet

Maybe you'd forgotten

The heaven lying at your feet

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....

There are so many contradictions

In all these messages we send. (we keep askin')

How do I get outta here?

Where do I fit in?

And though the world is torn and shakin',

Even if my heart is breakin',

It's waiting for you to awaken

And someday you will...learn to be still.

Outro:

Keep on runnin'

Just keep on runnin'

haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
