Tom: A
VERSE 1
A                               D
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, 
                     A                         D
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.  
A
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
D
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.  
A
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no.  
D
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height.  
C
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
     B
in a government for hire and a combat site.

VERSE 2
A                                                              D
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. 
A                       
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.  
        D
Look at that low plane!  Fine then.  
A                                              D
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.  

Save yourself, serve yourself.  
                 A
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.  
                 D
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.  
    C                                               B
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam , fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

CHORUS
         A         E            B    
It's the end of the world as we know it 
         A         E            B    
It's the end of the world as we know it
         A         E            B                 D  
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

VERSE 3
A
Six o'clock - TV hour.  Don't get caught in foreign tower.  
 D
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.  
A
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting.  
D
Every motive escalate.  Automotive incinerate.  
A
Light a candle, light a motive.  Step down, step down.  
         D
Watch a heel crush, crush.  
                  A
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier.  Renegade and steer clear!
D
   A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.  
C                                             B
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

CHORUS
         A         E            B    
It's the end of the world as we know it 
         A         E            B    
It's the end of the world as we know it
         A         E            B                 D  
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
A            D     A  D  A  G 
      I feel fine

 Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!  
    A                                    D                  A     D
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam , but neck, right?  Right.
