World Stood Still by Karen Matheson
World Stood Still
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
C G C F C G C F
[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
[Instrumental]
C Dm7 C Dm7 C G
[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
[Instrumental]
C Dm7 C Dm7 C G
[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
