[Intro]
C    Em    F    C
[Estrofa]
C 
  Be still 
                Em 
  And go on to bed 
            F               C 
  Nobody knows what lies ahead 
C 
  And life is short 
                Em 
  To say the least 
                F              C 
  We're in the belly of the beast
[Pre-Estribillo]
      Am 
Be still 
            F 
Wild and young 
C                            G 
  Long may your innocence reign 
                     Am 
Like shells on the shore 
                           F 
And may your limits be unknown 
                              C 
And may your efforts be your own 
                            G 
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore
[Estribillo]
Am                F 
  Don't break character 
              C      G 
You've got a lot of heart 
Am                         Dm 
  Is this real or just a dream? 
 F             G  Am 
Rise up like the sun 
 F          G   Am   G   F 
Labor till the work is done
[Estrofa]
C 
  Be still 
                  Em 
One day you'll leave 
 F                       C 
Fearlessness on your sleeve 
C                                             Em 
  When you've come back tell me what did you see 
                F                  C 
Was there something out there for me?
[Pre-Estribillo]
     Am 
Be still 
             F 
Close your eyes 
C                                G 
  Soon enough you'll be on your own 
                Am 
Steady and straight 
                                  F 
And if they drag you through the mud 
                                     C 
It doesn't change what's in your blood 
  
Over chains 
G 
  When they knock you down
[Estribillo]
Am                F 
  Don't break character 
              C      G 
You've got a lot of heart 
Am                         Dm 
  Is this real or just a dream? 
C       Em 
   Be still 
F       C 
   Be still 
C       Em 
   Be still 
F       C 
   Be still
[Estribillo]
Am                 F 
  Over rock and chain 
              C 
Over sunset plain 
                G 
Over trap and snare 
                    Am 
When you're in too deep 
                   F 
In your wildest dream 
                   C 
In your made up scheme 
                      G 
When they knock you down 
                     Am 
When they knock you down
[Estribillo]
Am                F 
  Don't break character 
              C      G 
You've got so much heart 
Am                         Dm 
  Is this real or just a dream? 
 F             G  Am 
Rise up like the sun 
 F          G   Am   G   F 
Labor till the work is done 
 F             G  Am 
Rise up like the sun 
 F          G   Am   G   F 
Labor till the work is done 
 F             G  Am 
Rise up like the sun 
 F          G   Am   G   F 
Labor till the work is done
