Verse 1:

   G
My feet are aching

And set our grief aside
    G
The Papers say it's doomsday

The button has been pressed

We're gonna nuke each other up boys
         Cmaj7 C6
'Til old satan stands impressed

Oh, girl, it's..

Verse 2:

    G
You put your finest suit on

I paint my fingernails

And everything's on sale
   G
We creep up on extinction

I pull your arms right in

I weep and say goodnight love

While my organs pack it 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;

   Cmaj7               Cm(maj7)                G                      B7
