Ah, when the world ends
Collect your things you're coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
And watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
Ah, we'll be lying in bed
And I'm gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building's crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we'll be churning
Our love will be our wings
Passion rising up from the ashes
When the world ends
When the world ends
You're gonna come with me
We're gonna to be crazy
Like a river bends, ya'lk
We're going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that's what's happening now
And I'm gonna be there with you somehow, oh...
Aw, we gonna tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won't work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely all the love that I would ever need
I'm gonna take you by my side
And love you tall, 'til the world ends
Yeah, but don't you worry about a thing
No, 'cause I got you here with me
Mm-mmm, don't you worry about a
Just you and me
Floating through the empty, empty
Just you and me
Oh, graces
Oh, grace
Ah, when the world ends
We'll be burning one
When the world ends, yeah,
We'll be sweet makin' love
Oh, you know when the world ends
I'm going to take you aside and say
Let's watch it fade away, fade away
Ah, the world's done
Ours just begun
It's done
Ours just begun
And we're gonna dive into the emptiness
We'll be swimming
I'm gonna walk you through the pathless roads
I'm gonna take you to the top of the mountain that's no longer there
Ah, I'm gonna take you to bed and love you, I swear
Just like the end is near
I'm gonna take you up to
Well, I'm gonna take you down on you
I'm gonna hold you like an angel, angel
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
When the world ends, y'all
I'm gonna hold you
When the world is over
We'll just be beginning... yeah

(*oh graces…..oh grace) ….back to the beginning of the verse, then the end of the world
Ah, when the world ends
Collect your things you're coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
And watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
Ah, we'll be lying in bed
And I'm gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building's crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we'll be churning
Our love will be our wings
Passion rising up from the ashes
When the world ends
When the world ends
You're gonna come with me
We're gonna to be crazy
Like a river bends, ya'lk
We're going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that's what's happening now
And I'm gonna be there with you somehow, oh...
Aw, we gonna tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won't work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely all the love that I would ever need
I'm gonna take you by my side
And love you tall, 'til the world ends
Yeah, but don't you worry about a thing
No, 'cause I got you here with me

version 3
6x=palm mute
x=mute that string
~=let ring for a little
/=slide
if there is nothing on the string dont strum it or pick it
VERSE
6x 6x 6x 6x
---77^55^1212^1010-^-9 6x repeat--| x4
----5--4---10-----9---8-----------------|
----0--0----0-----7---6-----------------|
----7--6---12-----11--10----------------|
----------------------0-----------------|
----------------------0-----------------|
this part is only the transitions from verse into chorus
6x
-77^55-12/ just slide up to the chorus
--5--4-|
--0--0-|
--7--6-|
chorus
the is the chorus and he does this three time
and the on the fourth time he skips this part. the strum is very tricky listening and
live videos is the only way ^
^
---11-00~00000-44~44444-6666---|
----3--4~44444--x~xxxxx--xxx---|
----3--3~33333--3~33333--333---|
----2--5~55555--5~55555--555---|
-------------------------------|
-------------------------------|
in the second chorus he does this little thing right after it
(i guess you say this is the bridge)
D A this is repeated 4times then on the 5th it goes like this (sorry
is kinda messy)
-------2/3-- -------2/3-0-------|
-----------0 -----------2--- 3--|
---0-0-----2 ---0-0-----2-0-----|
---2-2-4/5-2 ---2-2-4/5-0-2-5---|
---3-3-----2 ---3-3-----0-3-----|
---2-2-----0 ---2-2-----0-2-----|
so it is going to go
verse 4times
then transition
chorus 3times and on the fourth leave that one chord out
back to verse 4times
transition
chorus 3times and on the four leave the chord out
bridge 4times then make sure you do the change on the 5th
back to verse
then do the same thing for the chorus and your done
Ah, when the world ends
Collect your things you're coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
And watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
Ah, we'll be lying in bed
And I'm gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building's crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we'll be churning
Our love will be our wings
Passion rising up from the ashes
When the world ends
When the world ends
You're gonna come with me
We're gonna to be crazy
Like a river bends, ya'lk
We're going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that's what's happening now
And I'm gonna be there with you somehow, oh...
Aw, we gonna tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won't work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall

I'm gonna take you by my side
And love you tall, 'til the world ends
Yeah, but don't you worry about a thing
No, 'cause I got you here with me
Mm-mmm, don't you worry about a
Just you and me
Floating through the empty, empty
Just you and me
Oh, graces
Oh, grace
Ah, when the world ends
We'll be burning one
When the world ends, yeah,
We'll be sweet makin' love
Oh, you know when the world ends
I'm going to take you aside and say
Let's watch it fade away, fade away
Ah, the world's done
Ours just begun
