G                D
You don't owe it to yourself to be
Am           C                  G
Kind to your body or spend your time well
G               D
You don't owe it to the world to be
Am              C                         G
Good or cool or smart or likable or fun or nice
                     D
Change your hair and burn it down
               Am
And wear a sad knowing smile
                 C
And build it all anew

[Pre-Chorus]
                         G
And know that you're the one
    D                   Am  C
Who knows that it's all over
                      G
That's what makes you free

[Chorus]
                D
This is how the world ends
                Am
This is how the world ends
     C      Bm         G
With both a bang and a whimper
C      Bm         G
Both a bang and a whimper
                D
This is how the world ends
                Am
This is how the world ends
     C      Bm         G
With both a bang and a whimper
C      Bm         G
Both a bang and a whimper

[Verse 2]
G                D                      Am
You don't owe it to your doctor to be honest
C
But it might be helpful
G                D                           Am
You don't owe it to your boss to be a good employee
                  C
Because they will just replace you anyway
G            D
Cut them all off and start again
             Am
And find the WiFi password
C
Hope for the best
           G
Expect the worst

[Pre-Chorus]
             D
And watch it crumble
 Am    C
Around you
                        G
But I promise you'll be free

[Chorus]
This is how the world ends
                Am
This is how the world ends
     C      Bm         G
With both a bang and a whimper
C      Bm         G
Both a bang and a whimper
                D
This is how the world ends
                Am
This is how the world ends
     C      Bm         G
With both a bang and a whimper
C      Bm         G
Both a bang and a whimper

[Final Chorus]

This is how the world ends
                Am
This is how the world ends
     C      Bm         G
With both a bang and a whimper
C      Bm         G
Both a bang and a whimper
                D
This is how the world ends
                Am
This is how the world ends
     C      Bm         G
With both a bang and a whimper
C      Bm         G
Both a bang and a whimper
