Tom: A5
VERSE 1
A5                               D5
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, 
                     A5                         D5
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.  
A5
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
D5
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.  
A5
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no.  
D5
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height.  
C5
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
     B5
in a government for hire and a combat site.

VERSE 2
A5                                                              D5
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. 
A5                       
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.  
        D5
Look at that low plane!  Fine then.  
A5                                              D5
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.  

Save yourself, serve yourself.  
                 A5
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.  
                 D5
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.  
    C5                                               B5
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam , fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

CHORUS
         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it 
         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it
         A5         E5            B5                 D5  
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

VERSE 3
A5
Six o'clock - TV hour.  Don't get caught in foreign tower.  
 D5
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.  
A5
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting.  
D5
Every motive escalate.  Automotive incinerate.  
A5
Light a candle, light a motive.  Step down, step down.  
         D5
Watch a heel crush, crush.  
                  A5
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier.  Renegade and steer clear!
D5
   A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.  
C5                                             B5
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

CHORUS
         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it 
         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it
         A5         E5            B5                 D5  
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
A5            D5     A5  D5  A5  G5 
      I feel fine

VERSE 4
A5 
The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.
D5
Mount St. Edelite.  Leonard Bernstein.  
A5  
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
D5
 Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!  
    A5                                    D5                  A5     D5
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam , but neck, right?  Right.

CHORUS
         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it 
         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it
         A5         E5            B5                 D5  
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

CHORUS with different lyrics


         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it 
         A5         E5            B5    
It's the end of the world as we know it
         A5         E5            B5                 D5  
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
