As The World Caves In

[Verse 1]
   G
My feet are aching
         C
And your back is pretty tired
          G
And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
    C
And set our grief aside
    G
The papers say it's doomsday
    C
The button has been pressed
            G
We're gonna nuke each other up boys
         C
'Til old Satan stands impressed
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                   B
  And here it is, our final night alive
       Em          B      Em
As the earth burns to the ground
 
 
[Chorus]
   Em/C#     C         Cm
Oh boy  it's you that I  lie with
       G        B
As the atom bomb locks in
              C             Cm
Oh, boy, it's you I watch TV  with
       G             B           C
As the world, as the world caves in
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G
You put your finest suit on
  C
I paint my fingernails
         G
Oh we're going out in style babe
    C
And everything's on sale
   G
We creep up on extinction
  C
I pull your arms right in
  G
I weep and say goodnight love
         C
While my organs pack it in
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                   B
  And here it is, our final night alive
           Em          B      Em
And as the earth burns to the ground
 
 
[Chorus]
   Em/C#     C         Cm
Oh boy  it's you that I  lie with
       G        B
As the atom bomb locks in
              C             Cm
Oh, boy, it's you I watch TV  with
 
 
[Outro]
       G             B           G
As the world, as the world caves in
              (originally by Matt Maltese)

My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The papers say it's doomsday
The button has been pressed
We're gonna nuke each other up boys
'Til old Satan stands impressed

And here it is, our final night alive
As the earth burns to the ground

Oh boy it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, boy, it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in

You put your finest suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh we're going out in style babe
And everything's on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say goodnight love
While my organs pack it in

And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground

Oh boy it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh, boy, it's you I watch TV with

As the world, as the world caves in
