Chorus:
                        Dm
It's not the end of the world
                       A#
No, not the end of the world
                      Gm
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
            Am
Don’t lose hope
                        Dm
It's no funeral we're attending
                     A#
Actually, just the beginning
                      Gm
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
             C
Don’t lose hope
It's not the end of the, no,
not the end of the world


Dm
You can catch a star if the sky
is falling down
A#
There's a golden lining up
in every single cloud
Gm
You can take a frown,
turn it all the way around
C
All the way around, all the,
all the way around
  Dm
A fortune teller told me,
"The power's in your mind"
A#
You might see a cliff, but I see a way to fly
                     Gm
Flipping off the flop, now
I just enjoy the ride
  C
Just enjoy the ride, yeah,
 I just enjoy the ride

         Dm
(Na, na, na, na) What a time
         A#
(Na, na, na, na) To be alive
       Gm
(Don't say goodbye)

Chorus

You can make a wish even on a satellite
On a plastic lash or anything you like
You can tame the dragon if
you’re not afraid to fight
Not afraid to fight, no, I'm not afraid

(Na, na, na, na) What a time
(Na, na, na, na) To be alive
(Don't say goodbye) Don't say goodbye

Chorus:
It’s not the end of the world
No, not the end of the world
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope
It's no funeral we're attending
Actually, just the beginning
Throw on your fancy attire, fears in the fire
Don't lose hope

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Don't say goodbye
