Stop the World Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]The T.V. is
talking
The telephone's ringing
The [D]lights are all on and
the radio's screaming
A [C]million distractions are stealing
my heart from You
[G]

[Verse 2]
I'm tired and empty
This life is relentless
[D]It weakens my knees and
it breaks my defences
[G]It's wea[C]ring me down
And I'm desperate to hear from You
[G]

[Verse 3]
Stop the world, I wanna get out
I [C]need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear [Em]You s[D]peak to me
[C]

[Verse 4]
I [G]need to be still before I make a move
And I [D]need to be humble
with nothing to prove
[G]And [C]I need Your Word
to show me the truth
[Am]I ne[G]ed time, precious time

[Verse 5]
[G]Stop the world, I wanna get out
I [C]need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear [Em]You s[D]peak to [G]me[C]

[Verse 6]
[G]Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
[F]Show me [G]a sign,
[F]just give me a vision of [Em]heaven
That I can [D]hold on [C]to
Stop the world, I need some time
with [G]You

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][C][Am][G]

[Verse 7]
Before I can [F]find my voice
I need to [C]hear [Am]Your voice
Above all [G]the senseless noise

[Verse 8]
[G]Stop the world, I wanna get out
I [F]need an escape away from this crowd
Just to [Em]hear You, I need [D]to hear You, Lord

[Verse 9]
[G]Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
[F]Show me a sign,
give me a vision of [Em]heav[C]en
[Em]That I can [D]hold on [C]to
Stop the world, I need some time
[G]with You[G][C][Em]
Stop [D]the world, I need some [G]time with You
