'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

I'm not too young for the world 

B4          C#             E

And I can't change for the 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
