Verse

D F#m

Open sesame
(We've places to go)
We've people to see
(Let's put them on hold)
There's all sorts of shapes
That I bet you can make
When you have to escape
Say the word


Bridge

D F#m

Now I know getting you alone isn't easy to do
With the exception of you, I dislike everyone in the room
And I don't want to lie, but I don't want to tell you the truth
                                                  D
Get the sense that you're on the move, and you'll probably be leaving soon.
                  F#m     E
So I'm telling you


Chorus

D F#m E

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

Verse

D F#m

Eyes the colour of
(Water left in wood)
Ice and sugar dust
(Crazy green flashes) 
It's a funny thing that I cannot explain
Don't you know the train keeps rolling


Chorus

D F#m E

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you


Solo

Bridge

D F#m E

Well I know that getting you alone isn't easy to do
And I don't wanna lie and I don't wanna tell you the truth
And I know we got places to go, we got people to see
Think we both ought put 'em on hold and I know you agree


Chorus

D F#m E
  
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
                             D               F#m
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
