Nothing stands still This was my favorite song on one of my favorite albums Dont forget to capo the first fret Lyrics We might be in for a late night Stuck in a lava flow of brake lights I can hear a rattling bass drum Driving back to where it came from Set back, Ohh I shop, therefore I am the cause Protect me from what I was Getting the hang of it (8x) Timing is everything (6x) I'm at your feet Where critters meet Who should be asleep and not Crossing roads or highways In the afterlife of supercities, Rapidly devouring it's outskirts It's neon octopus arm Redecorating late at night Robot game for kids who hate sports Mothers crying at the airport Fighting the dreams you left behind to-do Waving goodbye, your young heart cries for you Set back, Ohh You're finding it hard To get very far We were born waiting in life Grabbing the future by the eyes Getting the hang of it, Getting the hang of it Timing is everything, Timing is everything Getting the hang of it, Timing is everything Getting the hang of it, Timing is everything Timing the hang of it Getting is everything Getting the time of it Everything hanging is Hanging the getting of Timing the everything Like batteries we die Like rivers we dry We fuel and recharge the humans and cars My fun, my sun Be my homework done Where did you go? You were my ride home Is that what we want? Is everything shot? Is that what you ask for? 'Cause that's what we got Nothing stands still Nothing stands still ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
