I Want The World To Stop

Belle And Sebastian

Text File

is quite hard to put the chords exactly where they belong, so I put it between 
[]'s and you listen to the song to figure out the beats, specially the bridges, 
that begin in the end of the verses.

Intro: Am Dm C E  4x

            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
