[Verse 1]
E                    C      D
  Floods of tears and doors slamming
E                C         D
  Stamping feet across the landing
Am                Bm
  Because of your obligation
Am                 D
  To stay home and fight
 
[Verse 2]
E                  C     D
  Sitting down to a composition
E                       C    D
 Test the limits of your inhibition
Am                    Bm
  If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
Am           | D | % |
  It's over tonight
 
[Chorus]
           G    Em         G    Em
If someone tried, you'd realise
            Cmaj7    D
It's just a boy or a girl
             Em/A       D
It's not the end of the world
 
[Verse 3]
E                   C       D
  Piles of toast and broken promises
E                            C        D
 Among the books and pens and reading glasses
Am                      Bm
  It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
Am              D
  It's over and done
 
[Chorus]
           G    Em         G    Em
If someone tried, you'd realise
            Cmaj7    D
It's just a boy or a girl
             Em/A       D
It's not the end of the world
 
[Chorus]
           G    Em           G    Em
If someone cried, you'd sympathize
            Cmaj7    D
It's just a boy or a girl
             Em/A       D
It's not the end of the world
 
[Bridge]
Gm7   C7          Fmaj7 Dm7
   At midnight in despe-ration
 Gm7    C7    Fmaj7  | Ebmaj7 | Dm7 | D |
Imagine total teen...  age...      destruction
 
[Solo]
| C | D | C/E | D/F# |
| G | Am | Bm | C | D |
 
| G | Em | G | Em |
| Cmaj7 | D | Em/A | D |
 
[Verse 4]
E                     C        D
  The Prophets all predicted extinction
E                    C    D
  The Virgin spoke in apparitions
Am              Bm
  And if it all came to pass now
Am                   D
 You feel we'd all deserve it somehow
 
[Chorus]
               G               Em
But if someone tried (you'd realise)
         G         Em
You'd realise (and sympathise)
            Cmaj7    D
It's just a boy or a girl
             Em/A       D
It's not the end of the world
 
[Chorus]
           G                 Em
If someone cried (you'd sympathise)
           G          Em
You'd sympathise (and realise)
            Cmaj7    D
It's just a boy or a girl
             Em/A       D
It's not the end of the world
 
[Coda]
            | G | Em | G | Eb | F | G | % | % | % | D7sus4/G | % | G
It's not the end ...
