E                G#m 
Nostradamus said I predict 
         C#m               E/B 
That the world will end at half past six 
A                  G7          E 
What he didn't say was exactly when 
       G                A   E 
Was he listening to the radio? 
       C                B7    E    B

        E              G#m 
Well he got us spooked anyway 
          C#m               E/B 
We'd been running hot up until today 
      A                   G7         E 
But a wind of change blew across our sales 
        G             A       E 
We were coasting on a winning streak 
        G               A     E 
We were kings until the power failed
