Carpenters version I:
1. [E] Why does the sun go on [B7] shining?
[C#m] Why does the sea rush to [Abm] shore?
[F#m] Don't they know it's the [Abm] end of the world
'Cause [A] you don't [F#m] love me any [B7] more?
2. [E] Why do the birds go on [B7] singing?
[C#m] Why do the stars glow [Abm] above?
[F#m] Don't they know it's the [Abm] end of the world
It [A] ended when I [B7] lost your [E] love
Chorus: I [A] wake up in the morning and I [E] wonder
Why [A] ev'rything is the [B7] same as it [E] was
I [Abm] can't understand, no, I can't understand
How [A] life goes [F#m] on the way it [B7] does!
3. [E] Why does my heart go on [B7] beating?
[C#m] Why do these eyes of mine [Abm] cry?
[F#m] Don't they know it's the [Abm] end of the world?
It [A] ended when you [B7] said good [E] bye
