Capo 1

(Intro) G, D, C majorC

G+G
The T.V. is talking, the telephone's ringing
D MajorD
The lights are all on and the radio's screaming
C majorC                          G+G
A augmentedA million distractions are stealing my heart from You
G+G
I'm tired and empty, this life is relentless
D MajorD
It weakens my knees and it breaks my defenses
C majorC                           G+G
It's wearing me down and I'm desperate to hear from You

(Single Strum Chords)
G+G         G+G
Stop the world, I wanna get out
C majorC         C majorC
I need an escape away from this crowd
    D MajorD    C majorC     G+G
Just to hear You speak to me

(Back to normal pattern)
G+G
I need to be still before I make a move
   D MajorD
And I need to be humble with nothing to prove
   C majorC
And I need Your Word to show me the truth
 G+G
I need time, precious time
G+G
Stop the world, I wanna get out
C majorC
I need an escape away from this crowd
    D MajorD    C majorC     G+G
Just to hear You speak to me

Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
C majorC                       D MajorD
Show me a sign, just give me a vision of Heaven

That I can hold on to
G+G
Stop the world, I need some time with You

G+G
Before I can find my voice
     C majorC
I need to hear Your voice
       D MajorD        C majorC
Above all the senseless noise

G+G
Stop the world, I wanna get out
 C majorC
I need an escape away from this crowd

Just to hear You, I need to hear Your Voice

That I can hold on to
