Why does the sun go on shining
E5                       B5
Why does the sea rush to shore
A5                       B5  =

Don't they know it's the end of the world
C5                A5      D5 =

'Cause you don't love me anymore
=0D
G5                      D5
Why do the birds go on singing
E5                    B5  =

Why do the stars glow above
A5                       B5
Don't they know it's the end of the world
C5             D5          G5
It ended when I lost your love
=0D
C5                             G5
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
C5                  D5           G5     =

Why everythings the same as it was
B5
I can't understand, no I can't understand
C5             A5           D5
How life goes on the way it does
=0D
G5                       D5
Why does my heart go on beating
E5                      B5
Why do these eyes of mine cry
A5                      B5
Don't they know it's the end of the world
C5                 D5       G5
It ended when you said goodbye

G5                       D5
Why does my heart go on beating
E5                      B5
Why do these eyes of mine cry
(sing)
A5                      B5
Don't they know it's the end of the world
C5                 D5       G5
It ended when you said goodbye
