Em C D
Floods of tears and doors slamming
Em C D
Stamping feet across the landing
Am Em
Because of your obligation
Am D
To stay home and fight
Em C D
Sitting down to a composition
Em C D
Test the limits of your inhibition
Am Em
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
Am D
It's over tonight
G Em G Em
If someone tried, you'd realise
C D
It's just a boy or a girl
Am D
It's not the end of the world
Em C D
Piles of toast and broken promises
Em C D
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
Am Em
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
Am D
It's over and done
G Em G Em
If someone tried, you'd realise
C D
It's just a boy or a girl
Am D
It's not the end of the world
G Em G Em
If someone cried, you'd sympathise
C D
It's just a boy or a girl
Am D
It's not the end of the world
Gm7 C7/G Am/F Dm7
At midnight in desperation

Imagine total teenage destruction

Em C D
The Prophets all predicted extinction
Em C D
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
Am Em
And if it all came to pass now
Am D
You feel we'd all deserve it somehow
G Em
But if someone tried (you'd realise)
G Em
You'd realise (and sympathise)
C D
It's just a boy or a girl
Am D
It's not the end of the world
G Em
If someone cried (you'd sympathise)
G Em
You'd sympathise (and realise)
C D
It's just a boy or a girl
Am D
It's not the end of the world
