AE Why do the birds go on singing? F#mC#m Why do the stars glow above? BmC#m Don't they know it's the end of the world, DEA it ended when I lost your love.
DA I wake up in the morning and I wonder, BmEA why everything's the same as it was. C#m I can't understand, no, I can't understand, DBmDm how life goes on the way it does.
AE Why does my heart go on beating? F#mC#m Why do these eyes of mine cry? BmC#m Don't they know it's the end of the world, DEA it ended when you said goodbye.
