      G       C        D         Em 
They say the world must end somehow, 
      G       C         D        Em 
They say the end's not far from now; 
                  C 
I think they're wrong, 
                       G 
Don't worry your life away, 
                   Em 
Start living for today, 
                    D          Em 
Don't think about tomorrow. 

                              C 
And if the lights go out on all of us, 
                   G     Em 
In just a year or two. 
                                C 
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain, 
                        G      Em 
Then I'll be here with you. 
C              G 
I'll go down with you. 

Well I'm gonna try for all I'm worth, 
To stay with you till the end of the earth. 
Don't let me down, 
Don't let your feelings win. 
Don't give out, and don't give in, 
Don't think about tomorrow. 

Cause if the lights go out on all of us, 
In just a year or two. 
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain, 
Then I'll be here with you. 
I'll go down with you. 

And if the lights go out on all of us, 
In just a year or two. 
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain, 
Then I'll be here with you. 
I'll go down with you. 

I'll go down with you
