Am

[Verse 1]
Am               F                             C                      G
Looking back to the past predictions of the end
Am                             F                             C               G
Unseen ultraviolet rays are beating on my head
Am               F                             C                             G
Nuclear threat – wanna bet? – will be our demise
Am                             F                             C                             G
The day will come when we’ll look to apocalyptic skies
Am

[Chorus]
F
When the news had spread
C
Soon we’d all be dead
G                             Am
Well it just blew our minds
F
No one could have guessed
C
Our worst fears at best
G
Figments of our time
Am

[Verse 2]
Am                             F               C               G
So it seems that our dreams will never come to be
Am               F               C                                           G
How could such a viral thing destroy humanity?
Am                             F                             C                             G
A few weeks until extinction, there’s nothing we can do
Am               F               C               G                             Am
A message sent to other worlds will say: “It was just the flu”
F
There’s no lesson to be learned
Dm               Bdim               Am
There’s no-one left to learn it
