why do the stars glow above?

Am Bm E

Don`t they know, it`s the end of the world,

Am D G

it ended when I lost your love.

C G

I wake up in the morning, and I wonder,

Am D G

why everything`s the same it was.

Bm Em Bm Em

But I can`t understand, no, I can`t understand,

how life goes on the way it does.

why do these eyes of mine cry?

it ended when you said good-bye.
