I Want the World to Stop
Belle and Sebastian
Am F C E
Am F
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)
C E
Give me the morning (give me the understanding)
Am F
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
I'm wrapped in sheets of milky winter disorder
Dm G C
Let me feel the air again, the talk of friends
E Am F
The mind of someone my equal
I want the world to stop…
Dm G C
Tinseltown has followed me from Tinseltown to
E Am
Grey adorable city by the docks
Dm G C E
Girls will walk in moving air the sun hangs low the girls don’t care
Am F Dm E
As they paint themselves at dusk.
Am F Dm E
I want the world to stop…
Dm G C
Towns’ and cities’ populations up and grow
E Am
The workers move to the suburbs
Dm G
In between I watch and go
C E Am F E
I run along side rush hour traffic a prayer for every car
Am F C E
I want the world to stop…
Dm G
I want to write a message to you
C E Am
Everyday at 10 o clock in the evening
Dm G
Yellow pearl my city is
C E Am
This is your art this is your Balzac your Brookside and your Bach
Am F Dm E
