My World Is Over

Abbey Lincoln


Tom: G

Intro: G Cadd9 G Cadd9

  Bm                   C
I didn't look over my shoulder 
Bm                   D
I wasn't ready for this 
Bm                             C
Didn't see the signs over the horizon 
  Em    Em/F#     Am         D         C
I was so sure that you would never leave but you did 
Chorus
 G                    Cadd9
So sweep away the sand, the tide, the ocean and just 
Am                  D
Pack the moon and stars up in a cardboard box and 
G                  Cadd9
Stop the clocks from chimin', block the sun from shinin' 
Am                      C                G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And Paint the sky a deeper shade of blue 
         D        G
Cause my world's over without you 
   Bm                      C    G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I know I should just keep goin' 
Bm                         D
But I don't know where to start 
Bm                              C
I never thought I'd see the day when 
 Em    Em/F#     Am         D        C
You'd go and leave me here with my broken heart, but you did 
Chorus 
 G                                  Cadd9
So sweep away the sand, the tide, the ocean and just 
Am                                 D
Pack the moon and stars up in a cardboard box and 
G                  Cadd9
Stop the clocks from chimin', block the sun from shinin' 
Em
Maybe someday all the pain will fade 
C
Maybe this hurt will slowly slip away 
Am
Maybe some days will never change 
  D               G
And I'll still love you 
Interlude: G Cadd9 G Cadd9
  Bm                 C
Stop the clocks from chimin' 
Bm                    D
Block the sun from shinin' 
Bm                              C
Paint the sky a deeper shade of blue 

 Em  Em/F#    Am     D        C
Cause my world's over without you 
 Bm                 C
My world's over without you
 Bm                 C
Stop the clocks from chimin' 
Bm                  C
Stop the clocks from chimin' 
 Bm                 C
My world's over without you
