G                      D
Why does the sun go on shining
Em                       Bm
Why does the sea rush to shore
Am                       Bm  =

Don't they know it's the end of the world
C                Am      D7 =

'Cause you don't love me anymore

G                      D
Why do the birds go on singing
Em                    Bm  =

Why do the stars glow above
Am                       Bm
Don't they know it's the end of the world
C             D7          G
It ended when I lost your love
=0D
C                             G
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
C                  D           G     =

Why everythings the same as it was
Bm
I can't understand, no I can't understand
C             Am           D7
How life goes on the way it does
=0D
G                       D
Why does my heart go on beating
Em                      Bm
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Am                      Bm
Don't they know it's the end of the world
C                 D7       G
It ended when you said goodbye
