G C F 
      Ohh, ohh, whoa
G C F


[Verse 1]
G                         C
I don't know why, I don't know why
    F
I'm so afraid, (I'm so afraid)
G                         C
I don't know how, I don't know how
   F
To fix the pain, (to fix the pain).


[Verse 2]
      G                      C
We're livin' a lie, livin' a lie
     F
this needs to change, (this needs to change)
G                            C
we're out of time, we're out of time, 
         F               F
And it's still the same.


[Chorus]
                  G
We can't stop the world, 
            C                 F
But there's so much more that we could do.
                    G         C               F
You can't stop this girl from falling more in love with you.
           G                         C                F
You said nobody has to know, give us time to grow and take it slow.
                 G
But I'd stop the world
      C              F
If it finally let us be alone.
           G      C       F
Let us be alone... oh, oh oh


[Verse 3]
    G                  C
I'm hearing the noise, hearing the noise
     F
From all around (from all around)
G                    C
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge
   F
Of breakin' down, (of breakin' down)


[Verse 4]
G                      C  
Like Bonnie and Clyde, Let's find a ride...
F
And ditch this town.
   G                       C
To keep it alive, keep it alive
      F
don't make a sound.

                           
[Chorus]
           G
We can't stop the world, 
            C                 F
But there's so much more that we could do.
                    G         C               F
You can't stop this girl from falling more in love with you.
           G                        C                 F
You said nobody has to know, give us time to grow and take it slow.
                 G
But I'd stop the world
      C              F
If it finally let us be alone (let us be alone)
           
Let us be...


[Bridge]
  G                C          F
I never wanna take that final look, 
     G                 C
I'll turn another page
                F
Won't close the book.


[Chorus]
                   G
We can't stop the world, 
            C                 F
But there's so much more that we could do.
                    G         C               F
You can't stop this girl from falling more in love with you.
           G                         C                F
You said nobody has to know, give us time to grow and take it slow.
                 G
But I'd stop the world
      C              F
If it finally let us be alone (let us be alone)


[Outro]
           G       C         F
Let us be alone... whooooah!
           G       C         F
Let us be alone... whoah oh! (let us be alone)
           G       C         F 
Let us be alone... ooh, ohh, ah!
