Still Life by Men at Work
from Two Hearts (album) 1985

Capo 1st Fret

Intro: D F Gm D Bb

D Am D Am
There's a picture in the hall, I know
D Am D Am

and it's from a time when feelings showed
C Bb
though I hold it close before my eyes
C Bb
my heart refuses to see.

Bb Am
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C Bb
but there is something you don't understand
Am
through the times when two were one completely
C Bb
there was another in this well laid plan.

D Am D Am
This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead
D Am D Am
but patient hearts cannot match times steady tread
C Bb
is this the threshold of a fantasy?
C Bb
is there still life at all?

Bb Am
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C Bb
but there is something you don't understand
Am
through the times when two were one completely
C Bb
there was another in this well laid plan... Best laid plan of ours.

C Gm
Watering the garden, some comfort for the twilight years
Bb C Bb
still, life never lingers, it marches past our veil of tears
C
a moment's all we've got, to have and to hold
Gm C - D
don't slip, don't blink, don't turn your head.

D Am D Am
With a photographic memory
D Am D Am
I could live in a time that used to be
C Bb
is this the threshold of a fantasy?
C Bb
is there still life at all?

Bb Am
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C Bb
but there is something you don't understand
Am
through the times when two were one completely
C Bb
there was another in this well laid plan.

Bb Am
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C Bb
but there is something you don't understand
Am
there was a time when I was won completely
C Bb
our emotions they got out of hand...
