[Intro]
G#   D#   C#

[Verse]
G#
The TV is talking,
The telephone's ringing
D#
The lights are all on
And the radio's screaming
C#
A million distractions
G#
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#
It's wearing me down
G#
and I'm desperate to hear from You

[Chorus (short)]
G#
Stop the world, I wanna get out
C#
I need an escape
C#
Away from this crowd
D#       C#       G#
Just to hear You speak to me

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
G#
Stop the world, I wanna get out
C#
I need an escape
C#
Away from this crowd
D#       C#       G#
Just to hear You speak to me
G#
Stop the world,
I'm ready to listen
C#
Show me a sign,
D#
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]
G#   C#   D#   C#   G#

[Bridge]
G#
Before I can find my voice
C#
I need to hear Your voice
D#          C#
Above all the senseless noise

[Chorus]
G#
Stop the world, I wanna get out
C#
I need an escape
C#
Away from this crowd
D#       C#       G#
Just to hear You speak to me
G#
Stop the world,
I'm ready to listen
C#
Show me a sign,
D#
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

[Outro]
G#   C#   D#   C#   G#
