WAITING FOR THE END OF THE WORLD
Elvis Costello

|G CF|G CF|G CF|G CF|

G C F G C
The man from the television crawled into the train.
F G C F G CF
I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time.
C Bb F C Bb
Ev'ryone was looking for a little entertainment,
F G C F G C
So they'll prob'bly pull his hands off when they find out his name.
F D F C
And then they shut down the power all along the line,
D F C
And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine.
D F C
They got to touching all the girls who were too scared to call out.
D
Nobody was saying anything at all.
G C F G CF
We were waiting for the end of the world.
G C F G CF
Waiting for the end of the world,
G C F G
Waiting for the end of the world.
Em G
Dear Lord, I sincerely hope you're comin',

'Cause you really started something.

|G CF|G CF|G CF|G CF|

G C F G C F
Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again.
G C F G C F|G CF|G CF|
We got to the station about twenty minutes later.
C Bb F C Bb F
The legendary hitchhiker says he knows where it's at.
G C F G C
Now he'd like to go to Spain, or somewhere like that,
F D F C
With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes,
D
His sun tan lotion and his castenets.
G C F G CF
He was waiting for the end of the world,
G C F G CF
Waiting for the end of the world,
G C F G
Waiting for the end of the world.
Em G
Dear Lord, I sincerely hope you're comin',

'Cause you really started something.

|G CF|G CF|G CF|G

C F G C F G
And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest
C F G
All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah.

|G CF|G CF|G CF|G CF|

C Bb F C Bb
Hiding from a scandal in the national press,
F G C F G C F
They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress.
D F C
You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach.
D
But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach.
G C F G CF
Waiting for the end of the world.
G C F G CF
Waiting for the end of the world.

(repeat)
