I Can't Stand Still

I never walk when I can run,

I don't believe I ever (F)could.

People try to slow me (D)down,

and saying "Boy, you really (C)should kick (Am7)back and (D9)chill,"

but (G7)I can't stand (C)still!

(C)I called the doctor, he said,

"Son, I cannot offer you a (F)pill."

So I never found (D)relief and now I've got to move (C)until I've (Am7)had my (D9)chill,"

but (G7)I can't stand (C)still!

(D9)fill. I (G7)can't stand (C)still!

(Fm7)Back where I come from, (Fm)life's never (Ebmaj7)humdrum.

(Dm7)I wish (F)I could take you (C)there.

Oh,

(Am)we had the world at our feet.

Life was (Dm7)sweet,

ain't no (C)doubt.

Grab a (F)seat,

check it (G)out.

(E7)Oh, (A7)I thought it never would end,

but I (D7)lost it somehow.

Would you (F)look at me now?

(D)I'm tryin' hard to tone it down.

Gotta watch my P's and (G)Q's,

maybe look before I (E7)leap, and then I think,

"Hey what's the (D)use?"

Ain't (Bm7)done it (E)yet, and I (A7)can't (D)forget how it feels when you dance till you drop,

so (Dm)don't even start to suggest that I stop.

(E7)I never (A)will.

I can't...

No, no, no, no.

I (E7)can't (A7)stand

(D)still!
