Why does the sun go on shining

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Am                  D           G     
Why everythings the same as it was
Bm                        Bm/E
I can't understand, no I can't understand

How life goes on the way it does


G                       D
Why does my heart go on beating
Em                      Bm
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Am                      Bm           E7
Don't they know it's the end of the world
C                      G     D7
It ended when you said goodbye
