[Verse 1]
A                   G#        E
Why does the sun go on shining?
F#m                     C#m
Why does the sea rush to shore?
D      C#  Bm          C#m           F#m
Don't they know it's the end of the world
      Bm                D        E
Cause you don't love me anymore?

[Verse 2]
A                   G#        E
Why do the birds go on singing?
F#m                     C#m
Why do the stars glow above?
D       C#  Bm          C#m           F#m
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
     Bm         E              A
It ended when I lost your love

[Chorus]
D                           A
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Bm                      E        A
Why everything is the same as it was
C#m                           F#m
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
Bm                           Dm   E
How life goes on the way it does

[Verse 3]
A                   G#        E
Why does my heart go on beating?
F#m                     C#m
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
D       C#  Bm          C#m           F#m
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
     Bm         E              A
It ended when you said goodbye

[Outro]
D       C#  Bm          C#m           F#m
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
     Bm         E              A  C#  B  A
