I Want To World To Stop

	  		(intro 4x) Am Dm C E 

            Am                       Dm 
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop) 
               C                  E 
Give me the morning (give me the understanding) 
            Am                       Dm 
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop) 
             C                   E 
Give me the morning, give me the afternoon 
    Am          A 
The night, the night 

Dm                 G 
   Let me step out of my shell 
        C                    E              Am 
That's wrapped in sheets of milky winter disorder 
Dm                 G               C 
   Let me feel the air again, the talk of friends 
     E                 Am    G F E 
The mind of someone my equal 

E      E    ( Am Dm C E  Am Dm C E Am A ) 
I want the world to stop . . . 

( Dm G C E Am  Dm G C E ) 
Tinseltown has followed me from Tinseltown to 
Grey adorable city by the docks 
Girls will walk in moving air 
The sun hangs low, the girls don't care 
As they paint themselves at dusk 

(ponte) Am G F E Dm C Bm E 
        Am Dm C E 

( Am Dm C E Am A ) 
I want the world to stop . . . 

( Dm G C E Am  Dm G C E ) 
Towns' and cities' populations up and grow 
The workers move to the suburbs 
In between I watch and go 
I run alongside rush hour traffic 
A prayer for every car 

Bass part can be filled with the same chords as refrain 
Am Dm C E (and goes this way till the last line of refrain, when it changes to Am A) 

I want the world to stop . . . 

( Dm G C E Am  Dm G C E ) 
I want to write a message to you 
Every day at ten o'clock in the evening 
Yellow pearl my city is 
This is your art 
This is your Balzac, your Brookside, and your Bach
