[Verse 1]
The [C]eastern [F]world it is ex[G]plodin'
[C]Violence fla[F]rin', bullets loa[G]din'
You're [C]old enough to [F]kill but not for [G]votin'
You [C]don't believe in war,
but [F]what's that gun you're [G]totin'
And [C]even the Jordan river has
[F]bodies flo[G]atin'

[Chorus 1]
But [C]you tell me [F]over and [G]over and
[C]over again my [Am]friend
Ah, you [F]don't believe we're
[G]on the eve of des[C]truction
[C]
[F][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Don't you understand,
what [F]I'm trying to [G]say?
And [C]can't you feel the fears
[F]I'm feeling to[G]day?
If the [C]button is pushed,
there's [F]no running a[G]way
There'll be [C]no one to save
with the [F]world in a [G]grave
Take a [C]look around you, boy,
it's [F]bound to scare you, [G]boy

[Chorus 2]
And [C]you tell me [F]over and [G]over and
[C]over again my [Am]friend
Ah, you [F]don't believe we're
[G]on the eve of des[C]truction
[C]

[Verse 3]
Yeah my [C]blood's so mad, feels [F]like coagu[G]latin'
[C]I'm sittin' here, [F]just contem[G]platin'
[C]I can't twist the truth, it k[F]nows no regul[G]ation
[C]Handful of Senators don't [F]pass legis[G]lation
And [C]marches alone can't [F]bring inte[G]gration
When [C]human respect is [F]disinte[G]gratin'
This [C]whole crazy world is [F]just too frus[G]tratin'

[Chorus 3]
And [C]you tell me [F]over and [G]over and
[C]over again my [Am]friend
Ah, you [F]don't believe we're
[G]on the eve of des[C]truction
[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]Think of all the hate there [F]is in Red Chi[G]na!
Then [C]take a look around to [F]Selma, Ala[G]bama!
Ah, [C]you may leave here, for [F]four days in [G]space
But [C]when your return, it's the [F]same old [G]place

[Verse 5]
The [C]poundin' of the drums,
the [F]pride and dis[G]grace
You can [C]bury your dead,
but [F]don't leave a [G]trace
Hate your [C]next door neighbor,
but [F]don't forget to [G]say grace

[Chorus 4]
[C]And tell me [F]over and [G]over and
[C]over and over a[Am]gain my friend
you [F]don't believe we're
[G]on the eve of des[C]truction
[C]No, no

[Outro 1]
You [F]don't believe we're
[G]on the eve of des[C]truction
[C]
[F][C]
