Can We Just Stop And Talk Awhile

Jose Mari Chan

   Intro: E-B9sus-
          EM7-B9sus-; (2x)

   EM7                 B9sus
   Fancy meeting you alone in the crowd
   EM7                             D
   Couldn't help but notice your smile
              A                      E
   While everybody else around us is going about
       B9sus             EM9  EM7,EM7 hold B9sus-EM9°EM9,EM7-B7sus-
   Can we just stop and talk awhile?

   EM7                       B9sus
   I've been often told our world's growin' old
   EM7                            D
   And that friends are harder to find
               A
   Do tell me more about yourself
             E                 B9sus
   We could share a thought or two
                  E-,E°F#,
   Now who would mind?

              Refrain
  G                    D       C
   Maybe then we could go for a ride
                     G        D
   Drive down to the countryside
     G                       D
   (Ahh) Get away from the gray
                       C                  B pause
   And frenzied hurly burly of the city life

   EM7                 B9sus
   Early yet to say what lies ahead
            EM7                            D
   It's the first day of the rest of our lives
               A
   Can we just stop and talk awhile
            E
   Get to know each other
   B9sus          EM7
   Who are we to know
                   A
   Love would be waiting at the end
               E
   Round that bend, and so
          B9sus         EM7
   Let's stop and talk awhile

           B9sus         EM7
   Let's stop and talk awhile
           B9sus         EM7
   Let's stop and talk awhile
           B9sus         EM7- B9sus-EM7-B9sus...
   Let's stop and talk awhile
