Capo 1
(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
Pretty simple song, just work on getting the dynamics and tempo changes down by
listening to the recording!
