Verse (0:40)

Em                   C       D
Floods of tears and doors slamming
Em             C           D
Stamping feet across the landing
Am               Em
Because of your obligation
Am                D
To stay home and fight
Em                C          D
Sitting down to a composition
Em                       C     D
Test the limits of your inhibition
Am                   Em
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
Am           D
It's over tonight



Chorus (1:13)

            G   Em       G    Em
If someone tried, you'd realise
            C         D
It's just a boy or a girl
              Am         D
It's not the end of the world



Verse (1:30)

Em                   C       D
Piles of toast and broken promises
Em                C           D
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
Am               Em
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
Am                D
It's over and done



Chorus (1:45)

               G Em          G    Em
If someone tried, you'd realise
            C         D
It's just a boy or a girl
              Am         D
It's not the end of the world
               G Em          G    Em
If someone cried, you'd sympathise
            C         D
It's just a boy or a girl
              Am         D
It's not the end of the world



Bridge 2:18

Gm7    C7/G       Am/F   Dm7
   At midnight in desperation
    G7   C7/G   F7 Gm Dm  Bm
Imagine total teenage   destruction

Verse (3:13)

Em                   C       D
The Prophets all predicted extinction
Em                   C       D
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
Am               Em
And if it all came to pass now
Am             D
You feel we'd all deserve it somehow



Chorus (3:29)

G                  Em
But if someone tried (you'd realise)
G        Em
You'd realise (and sympathise)
        C              D
It's just a boy or a girl
             Am        D
It's not the end of the world
               G     Em
If someone cried (you'd sympathise)
          G Em
You'd sympathise (and realise)
             C       D
It's just a boy or a girl
              Am          D
It's not the end of the world

It's not the end
