D# Be still Gm And go on to bed G# D# Nobody knows what lies ahead D# And life is short Gm To say the least G# D# We're in the belly of the beast Cm Be still G# Wild and young D# A# Long may your innocence reign Cm Like shells on the shore G# And may your limits be unknown D# And may your efforts be your own A# If you ever feel you can't take it anymore Chorus: Cm G# Don't break character D# A# You've got a lot of heart Cm Fm Is this real or just a dream? G# A# Cm Rise up like the sun G# A# Cm A# G# Labor till the work is done Be still One day you'll lead Fearlessness on your sleeve When you come back, tell me what did you see Was there something out there for me Be still Close your eyes Soon enough, you'll be on your own, steady and straight And if they drag you through the mud It doesn't change what's in your blood Over rock, over chain, over trap, over plane When they knock you down Chorus: Cm G# Don't break character D# A# You've got a lot of heart Cm Fm Is this real or just a dream? D# Gm Be still G# D# Be still D# Gm Be still G# D# Be still Cm G# Over rock and chain D# Over sunset plain A# Over trap and snare Cm When you're in too deep G# In your wildest dream D# In your made up scheme A# When they knock you down Cm When they knock you down Chorus: Don't break character You've got so much heart Is this real or just a dream, oh Rise up like the sun And labor till the work is done Rise up like the sun And labor till the work is done Rise up like the sun And labor till the work is done You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  Fm  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
