Em      D   C
Oh what a time to be alive 
              Em    D    C
Wake up and smell the dynamite 
               Em                         D
and keep your eyes locked tight to that screen
 C                            G
and don't believe everything that you see
 Em                         D          C 
you will find that modern life's a catastrophe 

[Chorus]
 G                            D              C                 Em
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell 
              C               Em            D
oh, we almost had it then we pissed it all away
   G                       D
Building walls, dropping bombs
 C                          Em
Stop the world, I'm getting off
Em             C
oh, we almost had it
        G                  D
Never thought I'd see the day
                            Em
When the world went up in flames

[Verse]
Em                     D                C          G
we all worship celebrities, desperate for an identity
           Em         D                 C
but cigarettes and MDMA don't give you substance 
Em                              D
you don't think about what you say 
              C               G 
because your mouth is bigger than your brain
        Em                   D                        G
it's a shame that you're so fake, and you're all the same 
 
[Chorus]
 G                            D              C                 Em
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell 
              C               Em            D
oh, we almost had it then we pissed it all away
   G                       D
Building walls, dropping bombs
 C                          Em
Stop the world, I'm getting off
Em             C
oh, we almost had it
        G                  D
Never thought I'd see the day
                            Em
When the world went up in flames

[Bridge]
Em               D                    C
there's a black cat in the window of parliament 
Em            D                            C                 G
there's a man in the back of a black cab, talking about the good days
         Em      D      C
when it all went up in flames (happy judgement day)
        Em       D      C 
when it all went up in flames (happy judgement day

[Chorus]
 G                            D              C                 Em
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell 
              C               Em            D
oh, we almost had it then we pissed it all away
   G                       D
Building walls, dropping bombs
 C                          Em
Stop the world, I'm getting off
Em             C
oh, we almost had it
        G                  D
Never thought I'd see the day
                            Em
When the world went up in flames
