Tuning: Bb, E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
My feet are ac
hing
And your back
is pretty tire
d
And we've drun
k a couple bot
tles babe
And set our gr
ief aside
The Papers say
it's doomsday
The button has
been pressed
We're gonna nu
ke each other
up boys
'Til old satan
stands impres
sed
[Bridge]
And here it
is, our final
night alive
And as the ear
th burns to th
e ground
Oh, girl, it's
..
[Chorus]
..you that I l
ie with
As the atom bo
mb locks in
Oh it's you I
watch TV with
As the world,
as the world c
aves in
[Verse 2]
You put your f
inest suit on
I paint my fin
gernails
Oh, we're goin
g out in style
babe
And everything
's on sale
We creep up on
extinction
I pull your ar
ms right in
I weep and say
goodnight lov
e
While my organ
s pack it in
[Bridge]
And here it
is, our final
night alive
And as the ear
th burns to th
e ground
Oh, girl, it's
..
[Chorus]
..you that I l
ie with
As the atom bo
mb locks in
Oh it's you I
watch TV with
As the world,
as the world c
aves...
Oh it's you
that I lie w
ith
As the atom bo
mb locks in
Yes it's you I
welcome death
with
As the world,
as the world c
aves in
As the world c
aves in.
Here are some extra details that I like to add to it,
but they are just my interpretations/ad libs and by no means essential
- it'll sound fine with just the chords.

For the chorus rhythm, you can also hit a root note of each chord between strums
so it builds it and fills it out a bit more.
Something like this;
