World Stood Still

[Verse]
    C                 Dm7          
The day you left this island was a 
G             Am
cold December morning
F                             G
Tender was the redness of the sky
    C             Dm7            
And all along the shoreline sang 
G                 Am
birds in blissful glory
F           G                 C
I had never heard their cry before

[Chorus]
    F              G              
And nothing can prepare you for 
  Am
the final parting words
   F                             
As leaving marks its harshness on 
      G
your mind
    F              G               
And I've been ever waiting for the 
F                   Am
day the world stood still
F               G               C
Waiting for the day you came to me

[Verse]
C           Dm7        G         
Waking in a new day to parodies 
  Am
of disillusion
F                               G
Songs become your saviour every day
     C       Dm7        G        
With so many faces just holding 
     Am
on in borrowed places
F              G                C
Hoping for the day they make it home

[Chorus]
    F              G              
And nothing can prepare you for 
  Am
the final parting words
   F                             
As leaving marks its harshness on 
      G
your mind
    F              G               
And I've been ever waiting for the 
F                   Am
day the world stood still
F               G               C
Waiting for the day you came to me

[Verse]
C            Dm7          G     
Yours is the kingdom, the power 
            Am
and all its glory
F                               G
Yours is the world to call your own
    C              Dm7            
But careful child, hold on tight 
   G                    Am
and pray your star keeps shining
       F              G           
Like a silver moon to guide you 
    C     G
home again

[Chorus]
    F              G              
And nothing can prepare you for 
  Am
the final parting words
   F                             
As leaving marks its harshness on 
      G
your mind
    F              G               
And I've been ever waiting for the 
F                   Am
day the world stood still
F               G               C
Waiting for the day you came to me
