C                                             G
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world

But it's feeling just like every other morning
  Am
before

Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's
 F
gone

C                                                  G
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I

Started staring at the passengers who're waving
    Am
goodbye

Can you tell me what was ever really special
  F
about me all this time?

Chorus:
    Am                                      F
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
                                   C
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
G
Let's see how far we've come
     Am                                  F
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
                                  C
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend
Let's see how far we've come
G
Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but
I don't really know
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the world
is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can
say goodbye to

Chorus:
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

     Am                C
It's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone
         F
There's no one on the corner
             E
And there's no one at home
       Am
It was cool, cool
        C
It was just all cool
         F
Now it's over for me
         E
And it's over for you

     Am                C
It's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone
         F
There's no one on the corner
             E
And there's no one at home
       Am
It was cool, cool
        C
It was just all cool
         F
Now it's over for me
         E
And it's over for you

Chorus:
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend
Let's see how far we've come

G
  Let's see how far we've come
C
  Let's see how far we've come
G
  Let's see how far we've come
Am
  Let's see how far we've come
F
  Let's see how far we've come
C
  Let's see how far we've come
G
  Let's see how far we've come
Am
  Let's see how far we've come
