1. Why does the sun go on shining,

`cause you don`t love me any more.

2. Why do the birds go on singing,
Am Em
why do the stars glow above?
Dm Em A
Don`t they know, it`s the end of the world,
Dm G C
it ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning, and I wonder,
Dm G C
why everything`s the same it was.

But I can`t understand, no, I can`t understand,
Dm F - G7
how life goes on the way it does.

Am Em
why do these eyes of mine cry?

it ended when you said good-bye.
