Song: I Want the World to Stop
By:   Belle and Sebastian
 
[intro:]  4 x Am F C E
 
[chorus: 1]
            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
 
[bridge: 1] 
Dm                G 
  Let me step out of my shell
       C                   E            Am          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    G  F  E{hit} E{hit}
The mind of someone my equal
 
[chorus: 2] 
            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 
 
[bridge: 2]
Dm                  G                C
  Tinseltown has followed me from Tinseltown to
E             Am                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
                                                 {passing notes}                  
         Am        G          F     E  Dm  C  B  ( C D ) E
As they paint themselves at dusk
         Am        G          F     E  Dm  C  B  ( C D ) E
 
[chorus: 3] 
            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
 
[bridge: 3] 
Dm                     G           C
  Towns and cities populations up and grow
       E                  Am         Am
The workers move to the suburbs
Dm              G
  In between I watch and go
   C              E                  Am      G        F      E{hit} E{hit}
I run along side rush hour traffic a prayer for every car
 
[solo: bass} 2 x Am  F  C  E   
 
[chorus: 4]
            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                        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 
 
[bridge: 4]   
Dm                    G
  I want to write a message to you
C           E                 Am        Am
Everyday at 10 o clock in the evening
Dm                G
  Yellow pearl my city is
     C                E                    Am        G          F     E  Dm  C  B  ( C D ) E
