I Melt With You

Words & Music:

Modern English

 

C                      F

Moving forwards, using all my breath.

Making love to you was never second best.

I saw the world crashing all around your face.

Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace.

 

CHORUS:

I'll stop the world and melt with you.

You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time.

There's nothing you and I won't do.

I'll stop the world and melt with you.

 

(We should know better)  Dream of better lives, the kind which never hate.

(We should see why)  Trapped in a state of imaginary grace.

(We should know better)  I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race.

(We should see why)  Never comprehending the race had long gone by.

 

CHORUS:

 

Em   G   C   Am   Em           G    C   Am

                  The future's open wide

 

CHORUS:

 

The future's open wide

C          F             C          F

Mm-mm-mm.  Mm-mm-mm-mm.  Mm-mm-mm.  Mm-mm-mm-mm.

 

CHORUS:

 

I'll stop the world and melt with you.  (Let's stop the world!)

I'll stop the world and melt with you.  (Let's stop the world!)
