Elvis Costello - Still

C D/C [ ch ] A#/C [ /Ch ] G/C x2

C D/C [ ch ] A#/C [ /Ch ] G/C
these few lines i’ll devote
C D/C [ ch ] A#/C [ /Ch ] A# G
to a marvelous girl covered up in my coat
C D/C [ ch ] A#/C [ /Ch ] G/C
pull it up to your chin
C F/C C
i’ll hold you until the day will begin

F Fsus4
still
Gm C Am Dm
lying in the shadows this new flame will cast
Gm D# C F Fsus4
upon everything we’ve carried from the past
Gm C Am Dm
you were made of every love and each regret
Am Dm
up until the day we met

E A D E
there are no words that i’m afraid to hear
Am Dm Gm D# C
unless they are goodbye , my dear

F Fsus4
still
Gm C
i was moving very fast
Am Dm
but in one place
Gm D# C F Fsus4
now you speak my name and set my pulse to race
Gm C Am Dm
sometimes words may tumble out but can’t eclipse
Am Dm E A
the feeling when you press your fingers to my lips

D E
i want to kiss you in a rush
Am Dm
and whisper things to make you blush
Gm D#
you say darling hush
C
hush
F Fsus4 F Fsus4
still , still
