Intro: C-F-; (4x)

  C                      F
   Moving forward using all my breath
  C                        F
   Making love to you was never second-best
  C                          F
   I saw the world crashing all around your face
  C                              F
   Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

                   Chorus
  C                                   F
   I'll stop the world and melt with you
  C
   You've seen the difference
               F
   And it's getting better all the time
  C                                F
   There's nothing you and I won't do
  C                                  F
   I'll stop the world and melt with you

  C                             F
   Dream of better lives, the kind which never hates
  C                     F
   Stuck in a state of imaginary grace
  C                        F
   I made a pilgrimage to save this human race
  C                                     F
   Never comprehending a race that's long gone, gone

   (Repeat Chorus)

   Adlib: Em-G-A-; (2x)
          Em           G    A     Em-G-A-
            The future's open wide
          
   (Repeat Chorus)

  C                                  F
   I'll stop the world and melt with you
  C
   There'll be some changes
               F
   But it's getting better all the time
  C                                F
   There's nothing you and I won't do
  C                                   F
   I'll stop the world and melt with you

  C                                     F
   I'll stop the world, I'll stop the world
                                        C
   I'll stop the world, I'll stop the world

   (Repeat Coda 3x)
