R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It

G                                        Cmaj7
That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
                                G                                      Cmaj7
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. 
G
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
Cmaj7
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. 
G
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. 
Cmaj7
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. 
Bb
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
      Am
in a government for hire and a combat site.


G                                                                                     Cmaj7
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
G                      
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. 
                   Cmaj7
Look at that low plane!  Fine then. 
G                                                                       Cmaj7
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do. 

Save yourself, serve yourself. 
                          G
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. 
                         Cmaj7
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. 
       Bb                                                         Am
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine


G
Six o'clock - TV hour.  Don't get caught in foreign tower. 
         Cmaj7
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. 
G
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting. 
          Cmaj7
Every motive escalate.  Automotive incinerate. 
G
Light a candle, light a motive.  Step down, step down. 
              Cmaj7
Watch a heel crush, crush. 
                            G
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier.  Renegade and steer clear!
Cmaj7
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. 
Bb                                                              Am
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.
