Chorus:
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
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
Chorus
Tinseltown has followed me
From Tinseltown to grey adorable city by the docks
The girls are walking, moving air, the sun hangs low
The girls don’t care as they paint themselves
at dusk
Chorus:
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)
Give me the morning (give me the afternoon)
The night, the night
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
Chorus:
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)
Give me the morning (give me the understanding)
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)
Give me the morning, give me the afternoon
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)
Give me the morning (give me the understanding)
I want the world to stop (I want the world to stop)
Give me the morning (give me the afternoon)
The night, the night
I want to write a message to you
Everyday 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
