Sit Still Chords

[Intro]
D     G  A Bm    G
 
[Verse]
 D                           D  G
Homesick for a home I don’t have
 
What a shame I didn’t fit in
          A              Bm7
'Cause I don’t look like them
                  Bm    
I was trying and trying 
          G
to crawl out of my skin
 
       D
I was livin gwith my parents
 
Sleeping in that car
 G                    
Trying to plant roots 
               A
in a concrete floor
 
 Bm                 
Waking up in cities 
                           G
I’ve never heard of before

And I’ve been thinkin'
 
 
[Chorus]
 D
Old me
                     G    A
Left my heart in Missouri
       Bm
Never felt this alive and
                          G
For the first time in my life
 
I need a minute to breathe in
 
 D
Slowly
                       G         A
Left the pine for the palm trees
       Bm
Never felt this alive and
                          G
For the first time in my life
N.C.
I’ve been dying to sit still
 
 
[Verse]
 D
Snuck out for the homecoming crown
 G
Didn’t give a damn if I win
                A         Bm
Knew I’d never see them again
                                        G
Looking back I wouldn’t do it any different
 
           D
Built too many glass ceilings
 
I’m responsible for
 G                                     A
Died upon that hill of letting no one close
 Bm
Changing all the ways I’ve behaved before
 G
Running through the fields
    N.C.
And I’ve been thinking
 
 
[Chorus]
 D
Old me
                     G    A
Left my heart in Missouri
       Bm
Never felt this alive and
                          G
For the first time in my life
 
I need a minute to breathe in
 
 D
Slowly
                       G         A
Left the pine for the palm trees
      Bm
Never felt this alive and
                          G
For the first time in my life
N.C.
I’ve been dying to sit still
 
 
[Break]
 G     A      Bm
Took another trip
  Bm    A   D
Around the Sun
 A         G      A  Bm7  a
And watch traffic go by
 
 
[Chorus]
 D
Old me
                     G    A
Left my heart in Missouri
       Bm
Never felt this alive and
                          G
For the first time in my life
N.C.
I need a minute to breathe in
 
 D
Slowly
                       G         A
Left the pine for the palm trees
       Bm
Never felt this alive and
                          G
For the first time in my life
 
I’ve been dying to sit still
 
 
[Outro]
D  D  G  A
