F#m                    G#m
This is the end of the world
              D  E
Like never before
F#m              G#m                        D E
What the newsman read at midnight or after four

Chorus:
                   F#m
It's breaking our hearts
              A
Breaking our homes
             Bm D
War's being sold
                  F#m
It's breaking our bones
            A
Taking our souls
              Bm D
War's getting old
    E            A                   E          Bm D
So let's break free from all these chains of misery
      E          A            E             Bm D
That we've laid down upon ourselves in history
     E          F#m
And let's break free

This is the end of the world
As we know
Watching children cry on the early morning show

Chorus:
And it's breaking our hearts
Breaking our homes
War's being sold
It's breaking our bones
Taking our souls
War's getting old
So let's break free from all these chains of misery
That we've laid down upon ourselves in history

'Cause it's breaking our hearts
Breaking our homes
War's being sold
And it's breaking our bones
Taking our souls
War's getting old
This is the end of the world, like never before
What the newsman read
And nothing more

So let's break free from all these chains of misery
That we've laid down upon ourselves in history
Come on, let's break free from all these chains
of misery
That we've laid down upon ourselves in history
Come on, let's break free
