<< Back to Matt Maltese Song List
Version 1 Version 2
[Verse 1]
G
My feet are aching
C
And your back is pretty tired
G
And we've drunk a couple bottles babe

And set our grief aside
G
The Papers say it's doomsday
C
The button has been pressed
G
We're gonna nuke each other up boys
Cmaj7 C6
'Til old satan stands impressed
[Bridge]
Am B7
And here it is, our final night alive
Em B7 G/D
And as the earth burns to the ground
A/C#
Oh, girl, it's..
[Chorus]

..you that I lie with

As the atom bomb locks in

Oh it's you I watch TV with
G B7 Cmaj7 Cm
As the world, as the world caves in
[Verse 2]
G
You put your finest suit on
C
I paint my fingernails
G
Oh, we're going out in style babe
C6
And everything's on sale
G
We creep up on extinction
C
I pull your arms right in
G
I weep and say goodnight love
C Em7/B
While my organs pack it in
[Bridge]
Am B7
And here it is, our final night alive
Em B7 G/D
And as the earth burns to the ground

Oh, girl, it's..
[Chorus]

As the atom bomb locks in

Yes it's you I welcome death with

As the world, as the world caves in

As the world caves in.
Here are some extra details that I like to add to it,
but they are just my interpretations/ad libs and by no means essential
- it'll sound fine with just the chords.

For the chorus rhythm, you can also hit a root note of each chord between strums
so it builds it and fills it out a bit more.
Something like this;
