[Verse]
C           F       G            C           F     G
I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.
C           F       G            C        F      G
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks.

[Chorus]
C                             Am
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
C                      Am
Sun explodes, all goes black.
F        C            G      F       C          G
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

[Verse]
C           F       G            C           F     G
You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur.
C           F       G            C           F     G
You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world.

[Chorus]
C                             Am
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
C                      Am
Sun explodes, all goes black.
F        C            G      F       C          G
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

[Chorus]
C                             Am
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
C                      Am
Sun explodes, all goes black.
F        C            G      F       C          G
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back
