Stop The World With Me (ukulele original)

This song is about enjoying the moment. Taking a step back from the pressures and stress of life sometimes and just enjoying time with the people close to you.

Lyrics and chords are below:

[C] It's [Cmaj7] early Monday [F] morning
[C] I'd [Cmaj7] rather be in [F] bed
[C] I [Cmaj7] stumble to the [F] bus stop
[C] No [Cmaj7] coffee in my [F] head
The [G] pouring rain it soaks right through
The [F] bus comes late and crammed
A [G] half hour trip can take 2 hours
When [F] all the traffics jammed

[C] [Cmaj7] Stop the world with [F] me
[C] [Cmaj7] Hold that thought just [F] feel
[C] daily life can [G] get you down
And [Dm] turn your smile in[G] to a frown
Sit [C] back, [G] relax for just a [F] while
And [G7] stop the world with [C] me [Cmaj7 - F]

[C] There's [Cmaj7] tension in the [F] office
[C] Phones [Cmaj7] ringing in my [F] ear
[C] Im [Cmaj7] patient voices [F] calling
[C] Their [Cmaj7] stress so loud and [F] clear
My [G] voicemail flashes wildly
As I [F] log into my mail
[G] 85 new messages
I [F] sigh as I exhale

[C] [Cmaj7] Stop the world with [F] me
[C] [Cmaj7] Hold that thought just [F] feel
[C] daily life can [G] get you down
And [Dm] turn your smile in[G] to a frown
Sit [C] back, [G] relax for just a [F] while
And [G7] stop the world with [C] me [Cmaj7 - F]

[G] Technology's supposed to make our life much easier
So [F] why are we more busy than we've ever been before?
We're [G] pulled in all directions as we try to do what's right
Some [F] times we need to step back and see the good things in our life  

[C] [Cmaj7] Stop the world with [F] me
[C] [Cmaj7] Hold that thought just [F] feel
[C] daily life can [G] get you down
And [Dm] turn your smile in[G] to a frown
Sit [C] back, [G] relax for just a [F] while
And [G7] stop the world with [C] me [Cmaj7 - F]
And [G7] stop the world with [C] me [Cmaj7 - F]
And [G7] stop the world with [C] me

I had to comment on this song again. It is just great. I listen to it a lot.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Grumpy! This one came from a conversation I had with a friend the day I wrote it... it got me thinking, and finally another song came. Thanks for watching, and thank you for this challenge!!

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

This is just great!

Great advice too - "be where you are" was something I've been meaning to put into a song someday...
