The End Of History

A                   E
Headlights cross my bedroom wall
G               D
I don't want to sleep
F                A
Restlessness and nervousness
D               E
Are my constant friends

  A                E
I stayed in hoping you would call
G                D
Every night last week
F                 A
Watching films on video
D             E
Time and time again

C                    G
Something strange is happening
Bb            F
I believe the world
G#            C
Is a book for which
        F               G
A happy ending has been found

C                 G
I dreamed I saw a city full
   Bb               F
Of monstrous little girls
G#           Bb
Fifty metres tall they
            C                G
Crushed the buildings to the ground

C                  G
I heard they put a telescope
   Bb              F
In orbit round the earth
    G#             C
And with it saw an asteroid
F               G
Rushing towards us

    D#                Bb
But I'm not scared, I live in hope
    C#            G#
For better or for worse
      B               D#
There must be light beyond the void
G#                Bb
Yes, I know there must

D#                  Bb
Headlights cross my bedroom wall
C#              G#
I can't bear to sleep
B              C#
Ever since you called I've been
   D#            Bb
So happy I could weep

    D#             Bb
The sky tonight is full of stars
C#                 G#
Searchlights and balloons
    B                D#
The world is ending, here we are
G#             Bb
Together in my room

F#                C#
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
E             B
At the end of history
D                    F#
Through the darkness we will shine
B               C#
Never lose your love for me
