[F#5/G#5-G#5-G#5] You need someone to hold you
E5(VII) B5
You need somethin' that you ain't been getting
[F#5/G#5-G#5-G#5] Yeah, I could be the one
E5(VII) B5
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
F#5/G#5-G#5-G#5 E5(VII)
And you're holding on forever

But that something just ain't true, I'm just like
(bridge - riff 1 starting on the second measure)
You
And I know
It's what I'd do
Here I go

'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
E5(VII) B5
'Cause it ain't - enough
(riff 1 two times)
(verse)
You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can't take it
I've given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it
'Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk
And they ain't polished and new
(bridge)
They don't come true
And I know, it's what I'd do
Here I go
(chorus)
'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you
I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to
I couldn't stop the world, and I won't
'Cause it ain't enough
(first measure of riff 1)

(outro)
[B4]I'm not too [C#]young for the [E]world
[B4]I'm not too [C#]young for the [E]world
[B4]And I can't [C#]change for the [E]world
(simile)
'Cause I don't care for the world
I don't need to stop the world
It don't make sense, the world
(fade out)
