Stop The World by Matthew West
Key: GG | Capo: 1fr |  Left-Handed 


(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
