Stop The Clocks
View chords used in this chart
B F#
Sitting on the car
E
Staring at the stars
C#m
Leaning on your shoulder
B F#
I wanna cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry
E C#m
Don't wanna let a single moment of you pass me by
If only I could freeze the frame
You know that I would stay right here for good
B F#
I I wanna stop the clocks tonight
E
I I wanna tear the hands right off
C#m
I I wanna stop the world from turning
And stay right here for good
I I hope the sun forgets to rise
I I won't ever leave your side
I I wanna stop the clocks tonight
And stay right here for good
I'd rather spend my life
Motionless with you
Than dancing with another
I wanna cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry
Don't wanna let a single moment of you pass me by
If only I could freeze the frame
You know that I would stay right here for good
I I wanna stop the clocks tonight
I I wanna tear the hands right off
I I wanna stop the world from turning
And stay right here for good
I I hope the sun forgets to rise
I I won't ever leave your side
I I wanna stop the clocks tonight
And stay right here for good
For good
Stay
I I wanna stop the clocks tonight
I I wanna tear the hands right off
I I wanna stop the world from turning
And stay right here for good
I I hope the sun forgets to rise
I I won't ever leave your side
I I wanna stop the clocks tonight
And stay right here for good
I I wanna stop the clocks tonight
I I wanna tear the hands right off
I I wanna stop the world from turning
