[D] Hold back the rushing minutes
[G] Make the wind lie still
[A] Don't let the moonlight shine
Acr[G]oss the lonely h[D]ill
[D] Dry all the raindrops
[G] And hold back the sun
[A] My world has ended
My baby's g[D]one
M[A]ilkman whistles softly
As he c[G]omes up to my d[D]oor
The m[A]ailman brings the letters by
J[G]ust like he did bef[D]ore
Th[D]ey seem so busy all day long
As though there's nothing wr[G]ong,
Don't they kn[A]ow the world has ended
My baby's g[D]one
[CHORUS]
I wake up sometimes in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I toss upon my bed
And wait for day to come
I try to tell my lonely heart
It must go on alone
But it cries the world has ended
My baby's gone
[CHORUS]
Don't they kn[A]ow the world has ended
My baby's g[D]one [A] [D]
[G] Make the wind lie still
[A] Don't let the moonlight shine
Acr[G]oss the lonely h[D]ill
[D] Dry all the raindrops
[G] And hold back the sun
[A] My world has ended
My baby's g[D]one
M[A]ilkman whistles softly
As he c[G]omes up to my d[D]oor
The m[A]ailman brings the letters by
J[G]ust like he did bef[D]ore
Th[D]ey seem so busy all day long
As though there's nothing wr[G]ong,
Don't they kn[A]ow the world has ended
My baby's g[D]one
[CHORUS]
I wake up sometimes in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I toss upon my bed
And wait for day to come
I try to tell my lonely heart
It must go on alone
But it cries the world has ended
My baby's gone
[CHORUS]
Don't they kn[A]ow the world has ended
My baby's g[D]one [A] [D]
