Stop The World

	  		 
 

(Intro) G, D, C 

G 
The T.V. is talking, the telephone's ringing 
D 
The lights are all on and the radio's screaming 
C                                                   G 
A million distractions are stealing my heart from You 
G 
I'm tired and empty, this life is relentless 
D 
It weakens my knees and it breaks my defenses 
C                                                     G 
It's wearing me down and I'm desperate to hear from You 

(Single Strum Chords) 
G                 G 
Stop the world, I wanna get out 
C                  C 
I need an escape away from this crowd 
        D        C         G 
Just to hear You speak to me 

(Back to normal pattern) 
G 
I need to be still before I make a move 
     D 
And I need to be humble with nothing to prove 
     C 
And I need Your Word to show me the truth 
  G 
I need time, precious time 

G 
Stop the world, I wanna get out 
C 
I need an escape away from this crowd 
        D        C          G 
Just to hear You speak to me 
G 
Stop the world, I'm ready to listen 
C                                              D 
Show me a sign, just give me a vision of Heaven 
           C         G 
That I can hold on to 
G 
Stop the world, I need some time with You 

(Instrumental Bridge) G, C, D, C, G 

G 
Before I can find my voice 
          C 
I need to hear Your voice 
              D               C 
Above all the senseless noise 

G 
Stop the world, I wanna get out 
 C 
I need an escape away from this crowd 
        D                   C 
Just to hear You, I need to hear Your Voice 
G 
Stop the world, I'm ready to listen 
C                                         D 
Show me a sign, give me a vision of Heaven 
          C          G 
That I can hold on to 
G 
Stop the world, I need some time with You 

(Outro) G, C, D, C, G 

Pretty simple song, just work on getting the dynamics and tempo changes down by  
listening to the recording!
