 riff 1 (x4)]
 Don't think you could stop it now
 I'd like to see you try somehow
 Realize that it puts it all on you
 There's nothing you can do
 Right now  you're sick and tired
   (0h2 on -string)
 You're feeling sad, you're feeling uninspired
 But the clock  just won't slow down
   (0h2 on -string)
 Like it gets its kicks pushing you around, you around

 Maybe in the morning it won't be
 Quite as bad as it seems
 But the fact  that you can't change

 The speed of sound, the rate of age
 Is an understatement  to

 A state of mind your not used to, used to
 (0h2 on -string)
  You'd be forever known
 As the boy  who stopped the  world

 Right now  you're sick and tired

 You'll give in

Don't think you could stop it now
I'd like to see you try somehow
Realize that it puts it all on you
There's nothing you can do

Right n[Am7]ow you're sick and t[C]ired
                [G]                  [D] (0h2 on [E]-string)
You're feeling sad, you're feeling uninspired
But the c[Am7]lock just won't slow d[C]own
                  [G]             [D] (0h2 on [E]-string)

              [G]                 [D] (0h2 on [E]-string)
The speed of sound, the rate of age
Is an [Am7]understatement t[C]o
            [G]            [D] (0h2 on [E]-string)
A state of mind your not used to, used to

[Am]   [C/B]   [C]    [D] (0h2 on [E]-string)
    You'd be forever known
As the b[Am]oy who stopped [C/B]the w[C]orld
