I Can't Stand Still

I never walk when I can run,

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

People try to slow me (C7)(Bb)down,

and saying "Boy, you really should kick (Gm7)back and (C9)chill,"

but (F7sus)I can't stand (Bbm7)still!

(Bb)I called the doctor;

he said, "Son, I cannot offer you a (Eb)pill."

So I never found (C7)(Bb)relief and now I've got to move until I've (Gm7)had my (C9)fill.

but (F7sus)I can't stand (Bbm7)still!

(Bbm7)I (F7sus)can't stand (Bb)still.

(Ebm7)Back where I come from,

(Gb)life's never (Dbmaj9)humdrum.

(Cm7)I wish I (Eb)could take you (Bb)there.

Oh,

(Gm)we had the world at our feet.

Life was (Cm7)sweet, ain't no (Bb)doubt.

Grab a (Eb)seat, check it (F)out.

(D7)Oh, (G7)I thought it never would end.

But I (C7sus)lost it (C7)somehow.

Would you (Eb)look at me now?

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

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

maybe look before I (D7)leap,

and then I think, "Hey, what's the (C)use?"

Ain't (Am7)done it (D9)yet,

and I (F)can't (G)(C)forget how it feels when you dance till you drop,

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

(D7sus)I (D7)never will.

I can't...

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no.

I can't (D9)(G13)stand still!
