Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]That's great, it starts with an ear[C]thquake
Birds and snakes, and [G]aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is [C]not afraid
[G]Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
[C]World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
[G]Speed it up a notch,
speed, grunt, no, strength
The [C]ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
[Bb]Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a [Am]government for hire and a combat site
[G]Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing [C]down your neck

[Verse 2]
[G]Team by team, reporters baffled,
trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at [C]that low plane, fine, then
[G]Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But [C]it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its [G]own needs,
listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the [C]Rapture
and the reverent in the right, right
You [Bb]vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
[Am]Feeling pretty psyched

[Chorus 1]
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
and I feel [C]fine

[Verse 3]
[G]Six o'clock, T.V. hour,
don't get caught in foreign tower
[C]Slash and burn, return,
listen to yourself churn
[G]Lock him in uniform,
book burning, bloodletting
[C]Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
[G]Light a candle, light a motive,
step down, step down
[C]Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means [G]no fear, cavalier,
renegade and steering clear
A [C]tournament, a tournament,
a tournament of lies
[Bb]Offer me solutions,
offer me alternatives and [Am]I decline

[Chorus 2]
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
and I feel [C]fine [G]I feel fin[C]e

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][F][F]

[Chorus 3]
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
and I feel [C]fine

[Verse 4]
The [G]other night I drifted
nice continental drift divide
[C]Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
[G]Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce
and Lester Bangs
[C]Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You [Bb]symbiotic, patriotic,
slam but neck, [Am]right, right

[Chorus 4]
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
and I feel [C]fine[G]

[Chorus 5]
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
and I feel [C]fine

[Chorus 6]
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
and I feel [C]fine

[Chorus 7]
[G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
It's the [G]end of the [D]world as we [Am]know it
and I feel [C]fine
[Repeat and fade]
