These are Still by Laura Tesoro on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar & Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Em
Never knew that quiet
            C
could be so still,
G
Never knew an emptiness
      D
could kill,
Em
Fear and doubt never
        C
slow me down,
  G
I always found my way
               D
somewhere, somehow.

[Verse 2]
    Am
But when the sunlight
Em
disappears,
    G
And darkness takes
     D
it’s turn,
    Am
The sorrow hits with
Em
healthy tears,
    G
And leaves me small
    D     B
and hurt.

[Verse 3]
Em
Never knew that grey
            C
could be so grey,
    G
The loneliness is worse
         D
than any pain,
Em
People keep on saying,
        C
I’ll be fine,
       G
It’s a part of live
we all
              D
must face sometime.

[Verse 4]
Em             C
Slowly I stand up,
      G
The horizon shows
    D   B
the sun,
    Em
The road that I have
C
walked,
           G
Is finally ending,
            D     B
Turning the tide.

[Verse 5]
             Em
I live and I dance,
Em
I sing and I flow,
              C
I take a deep breath,
C
And I let it go,
          G
All of my demons,
I trade them for my
D     B
dreams.

[Verse 6]
                 Em
And everything’s clear,
Em
And making sense,
           C
I wish the war inside
myself,
         G
That I defeated,
               D     B
I’m ready to release it.

[Verse 7]
                  Em
‘Cause I feel the fire,
Em
That I had lost,
            C
I light the night,
C
With all I got,
            G
Release the darkness yeah,
                D      B
I make myself a promise.

[Verse 8]
‘Cause I went through
Em
hell,
Em
And shed the tears,
        C
Hit the bottom that
I feared,
          G
Full of a life,
              D  G
All the more alive.

[Verse 9]
  Em
Embrace the life,
Em
The storming wind,
B    C
I’ve started up,
C
I’m diving in,
D G
I wanna go,
       B          D  B
Way deeper than before.

[Verse 10]
    Em
And everything that
lies ahead,
B    C
I’ll take it in with
no regret,
D G
  Bring it on,
     B       D
I’ll be back for
 B   Em
more . . .

[Outro]
 Em            C
(Woa ah ah aah aah),
               G
(Woa ah ah aah aah),
                 D   B
(Aah aah aah aah aah),
             Em
Woa ah ah ah aah, (aah),
             C
Woa ah ah ah aah, (aah),
             G
Woa ah ah ah aah, (aah),
                D   B
Aah aah aah aah aah,
Never knew that quiet
could be so still.

How to play Still: key, chords and progression

Still by Laura Tesoro sits in E minor (one sharp: F♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: Em, C, G, D, Am and B.

Listen for Em – C – G – D (i – VI – III – VII in E minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems: the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
