World Stood Still

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

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

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

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

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

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