Ok here's my attempt at Cold's acoustic version of End of the World.
It's in C tuning (C,F,Bb,Eb,G,C), and because of that, it's a little
bit difficult to hear the exact chords. This sounds good when played
with the song, and I believe it's correct, but I'm not sure. I tried
to write out the actual rhythm as much as possible, but just listen
to the song. You should be able to get it. Corrections are welcomed
and appreciated. Email me with comments, corrections, or requests.
Thanks, Evan.

10/26/01 - I've now seen this song live and pretty much confirmed
this tab.

The main chords used are:
Asus2    002200
Cadd9    x32033
G5       3x0033
Em       022000

Verse: (Play 10 times)
 C|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-3---xx-3---3--3-3------|
 G|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-3---xx-3---3--3-3------|
Eb|-2---2--2-2--2--2-2--xx-0---xx-0---0--0-0------|
Bb|-2---2--2-2--2--2-2--xx-2---xx-0---0--0-0------|
 F|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-3---xx-x---x--x-x------|
 C|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-----xx-3---3--3-3------|
    Asus2                  Cadd9  G5

Right before going into the chorus (the tenth time
you play the verse) arpeggiate the Cadd9 and G5:
 C|-------------------|
 G|-------------------|
Eb|------0------------|
Bb|----2--------0-----|
 F|--3--------2-------|
 C|---------3---------|


Chorus: (Play 2 times)
 C|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-3--xx-3--xx-0----------|
 G|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-3--xx-3--xx-0----------|
Eb|-2---2--2-2--2--2-2--xx-0--xx-0--xx-0----------|
Bb|-2---2--2-2--2--2-2--xx-0--xx-2--xx-2----------|
 F|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-x--xx-3--xx-2----------|
 C|-0---0--0-0--0--0-0--xx-3--xx----xx-0----------|
    Asus2                  G5    Cadd9 Em
Note: Here, I haven't written out the rhythm of
the last three chords... it's exactly the same
as the first one.

Interlude: (Play 1 time)
 C|----------------------------------------------|
 G|-----0-----0--0h1p0-------0-------------------|
Eb|-------2------------2-------------------------|
Bb|---2------------------2-----------------------|
 F|-0-------0--------------0---------------------|
 C|----------------------------------------------|
This is just an arpeggiated Asus2/Am.


Play verse 4 times

Play chorus 8 times
Keep playing the chorus during the "It's my world..."
part. During this part try to strum the low notes of
each chord and then the high notes. For example:
 C|---------0--0-0---|
 G|---------0--0-0---|
Eb|--2--2-2-2--2-2---|
Bb|--2--2-2----------|
 F|--0--0-0----------|
 C|--0--0-0----------|
Right after this part, when it's mainly vocals, the
5th time you play the chorus, you only strum each
chord once, allowing it to ring.

End with this, allowing it to ring:
 C|--0---------|
 G|--0---------|
Eb|--2---------|
Bb|--2---------|
 F|--0---------|
 C|--0---------|
     Asus2

So... the song structure should end up being:
Verse     x10
Chorus    x2
Interlude x1
Verse     x4
Chorus    x8
End       x1

Lyrics:

everyone came around here
everyone else got sick
and watch the clock tickin slowly,
everyone knew the ending,
opened a bag of tricks,
and stumbled over their own,

they blew minds away,
sort of the cripplin just like thunder.
and its gone today
i'm so happy that it's on.

well it's the end of the world.

well it's far away in a hurricane,
twistin slowly
now its gone today
i'm so happy that it's on.

well it's the end of the world.

its my world, my love, my gun,

well it's the end of the world

now i'm all alone, kept the pain inside,
wanna torch the world, cuz i'm breathin fire.
