1. Why does the sun go on shining?
     Am                     Em
    Why does the sea rush to shore?
     Dm                     Em
    Don't they know it's the end of the world,
         F    Dm                G    - G7
    `cause you don't love me any more?
 
      C                   G
2. Why does my heart go on beating?
     Am                     Em
    Why do these eyes of mine cry?
     Dm                    Em
    Don't they know it's the end of the world?
        F        G            C
    It ended when you said goodbye.
 
         F                       C
    I wake up in the morning and I wonder
       G                          C
    why everything's the same as it was.
         Em                   Dm
    And I can't understand, no, I can't understand,
      F                       G  - G7
    why life goes on the way it does.
 
   C                    G     
3. Why do the birds go on singing?
    Am                    Em
    Why do the stars shine above?
     Dm                     Em 
    Don't they know it's the end of the world?
         F        G        C
    It ended when I lost your love.
    C - G - Am - Em- Dm                                  Em
                            Don't they know it's the end of the world?
        F           G        C
    It ended when you said goodbye.
