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]A million distractions are stealing my heart from Yo[G]u
[G]I'm tired and empty, this life is relentless
[D]It weakens my knees and it breaks my defenses
[C]It's wearing me down and I'm desperate to hear from Yo[G]u
(Single Strum Chords)
[G]Stop the world, I [G]wanna get out
[C]I need an escape aw[C]ay from this crowd
Just to [D]hear You [C]speak to m[G]e
(Back to normal pattern)
[G]I need to be still before I make a move
And I[D] need to be humble with nothing to prove
And I[C] need Your Word to show me the truth
I [G]need time, precious time
[G]Stop the world, I wanna get out
[C]I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to [D]hear You [C]speak to me[G]
[G]Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
[C]Show me a sign, just give me a vision of Heaven[D]
That I can [C]hold on to[G]
[G]Stop the world, I need some time with You
(Instrumental Bridge) G, C, D, C, G
[G]Before I can find my voice
I need to [C]hear Your voice
Above all the [D]senseless noise[C]
[G]Stop the world, I wanna get out
I[C] need an escape away from this crowd
Just to [D]hear You, I need to [C]hear Your Voice
[G]Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
[C]Show me a sign, give me a vision of Heaven[D]
That I can[C] hold on to[G]
[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!
