R.E.M. - End Of The World Chords

G                                          Cmaj7
That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
                               G                                      Cmaj7
birds and snakes, an airplane - 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
     A
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                                                        A
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
 
Chorus:
             G (1)        Dsus2 (1)   Am (2)
It's the end of the world as we know it
             G (1)        Dsus2 (1)   Am (2)
It's the end of the world as we know it
             G (1)        Dsus2 (1)   Am (2)                 C (4)
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                                                             A
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.
 
             G (1)        Dsus2 (1)   Am (2)
It's the end of the world as we know it
             G (1)        Dsus2 (1)   Am (2)
It's the end of the world as we know it
             G (1)        Dsus2 (1)   Am (2)              C (2)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
G (2)      Cmaj7 (2)     G (2)    Cmaj7 (2)   G (2)    F (4)
    I feel fine
 
Chorus
 
G
The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.
Cmaj7
Mount St. Edelite.  Leonard Bernstein. 
G 
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Cmaj7
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom! 
        Bb                                                 A
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right?  Right.
 
Chorus
 
G (4)
