[Verse 1]
G   Am
       You need someone to hold you
F                            C
 You need something that you ain't been getting
G   Am
      Yeah, I could be the one
    F                       C
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing
G   Am                         F
      And you're holding on forever
          C                     Dm
Cut that something just ain't true
               F
I'm just like you
       Dm
And I know
               F
It's what I'd do
       Dm
Here I go


[Chorus]
        F            G      Am
Because I couldn't stop the world because I loved you
F            G       Am
I couldn't stop the world and I don't want to
F            G       Am
I couldn't stop the world and I won't
           F       C
Cecause it ain't enough

[Verse 2]
G   Am
      You had another bad day
F                          C
 You let me know that you just can't take it
G   Am
      I've given up on you
F                          C
 You live in truth and I know I can't fake it
G   Am                               F
       Cecause the stars you see on dirty sidewalks
         C                  Dm
And they ain't for wishing, ooh
                  Fadd9
They don't come true
       Dm                 Fadd9
And I know, it's what I'd do
       Dm
Here I go


[Chorus]
        F            G     Am
Cecause I couldn't stop the world because I loved you
F           G       Am
I couldn't stop the world and I don't want to
F           G       Am
I couldn't stop the world and I won't
           F       C
Cecause it ain't enough

[Outro]
C           Dm           F
 Am I too young for the world?
C             Dm            F
 I'm not too young for the world
C             Dm             F
 And I can't change for the world
C                Dm            F
 Cecause I don't care for the world (I don't need to stop the world)
C              Dm           F
 I don't make sense to the world  (I'm too young, I'm too young)
C            Dm             F
 I'm not too young for the world (I don't need to stop the world)
C              Dm           F
 I don't make sense to the world  (I'm too young, I'm too young)
