[Verse 1]
G Cmaj7 That's great, it starts with an earthquake, G Cmaj7 birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. G Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn Cmaj7 World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. G Speed it up a knock, speed, grunt, no, strength no. Cmaj7 Ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down height. Bb Wire in a fire, representing seven games Am in a government for hire and a combat site.
[Verse 2]
G Cmaj7 Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. G Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped. Cmaj7 Look at that low plane! Fine then. G Cmaj7 Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
G World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Cmaj7 Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. Bb Am You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am C It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
[Verse 3]
G Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Cmaj7 Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. G Lock him in uniform, book burning, blood letting. Cmaj7 Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. G Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down. Cmaj7 Watch a heel crush, crush. G Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steering clear! Cmaj7 A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. Bb Am Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am C It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G F F I feel fine G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am C It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
[Verse 4]
G The other night I dreamed of knives, continental drift divide. Cmaj7 N.C. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein. G Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Cmaj7 Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! Bb Am You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right.
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am C It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
G
G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am C It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am C It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am It's the end of the world as we know it G Dsus2 Am C It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
