[Chorus]
F#m
They say the good die young
No use in saying “what is done is done»

‘Cause it’s not enough
And when the night gives way

It’s like a brand new doomsday
F#m
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea

But it’s never enough
And when the night gives way
Bm
It’s like like a brand new doomsday
F#m
No matter what they say
F#m
It’s like a brand new doomsday
