[Intro] Am Dm C E x4
            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 [Bridge] 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 Am G F E Dm C Bm E Am Dm C E
