IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I FEEL FINE)

(lyrics from official lyric sheet)


G (320003@1)                             Cmaj7That's (x32000@1)great, it starts with an earthquake,
                     G (320003@1)                       Cmaj7birds (x32000@1)and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
GEye (320003@1)of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
Cmaj7
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.
GFeed (320003@1)it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no.
Cmaj7
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height.
BbWire (x1333x@1)in a fire, represent the seven games
     Amin (x02210@1)a government for hire and a combat site.


G (320003@1)                                                            Cmaj7Left (x32000@1)her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
GTeam (320003@1)by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
             Cmaj7Look (x32000@1)at that low plane!  Fine then.
G (320003@1)                                             Cmaj7Uh (x32000@1)oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.

Save yourself, serve yourself.
                 GWorld (320003@1)serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
                 Cmaj7Tell (x32000@1)me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.
    Bb (x1333x@1)                                             AmYou (x02210@1)vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.


         G (320003@1)       Dsus2 (xx0230@1)  AmIt's (x02210@1)the end of the world as we know it

GSix (320003@1)o'clock - TV hour.  Don't get caught in foreign tower.
      Cmaj7Slash (x32000@1)and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
GLock (320003@1)him in uniform and book burning, blood letting.
      Cmaj7Every (x32000@1)motive escalate.  Automotive incinerate.
GLight (320003@1)a candle, light a motive.  Step down, step down.
         Cmaj7Watch (x32000@1)a heel crush, crush.
                  GUh (320003@1)oh, this means no fear - cavalier.  Renegade and steer clear!
Cmaj7
   A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Bb (x1333x@1)                                           AmOffer (x02210@1)me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.
