Capo 4
Downpicking only
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
FSo keep your calm, and carry on
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
AmThe sun may never rise again
AmThe question ain't if but when
FThe sea will mourn and tEhe sky will fall
AmThe sun may never rise again
AmThe silent war has begun
AmYou're staring down a loaded gun
FNo refuge found oEn solid ground
AmThis human race can't be won
Don't wait to say goodFbye, you're running out of time
Whatever yoD9/6u believe Eit's easy to see
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
So keFep your calm, and carry on
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
-mute-                  
And it's about to explode
AmThe whole world, the whole world
AmThe whole world, the whole world
AmThe future is a dying art
AmLaying in a ditch in the dark
FI need you here bEut all I hear
AmIs the beating of a broken heart
Don't wait to say gooFdbye, you're running out of time
Whatever yoD9/6u believe iEt's easy to see
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
FSo keep your calm, and carry on
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
-mute-
And it's about to explode
AmThe whole world, the whole world
AmThe whole world, the whole world
FAnd it's about to explode
FThe whole world, the whole world
AmThe whole world, the whole world
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
FAnd it don't care what side you're on
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
AmThe whole world, the whole world
AmThe whole world, the whole world
FSo keep your calm, and carry on
AmThe whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
