[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

It's the end of the world as we know it

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
