[Verse 1]
Put on your brave face, honey, your brave face
Honey, and get ready for the end of the world
Put on your best clothes, take a deep breath
Don t bury your head and draw yourself up tall
It might hurt a bit but don t you forget that
This is your past if we survive
So put on your brave face, honey, your brave face
Honey, and we ll make it to the other side
[Chorus]
Make me a promise that when the world ends
(Optional resolve: or )
You ll kiss me and you ll hold my hand
And then we ll get through this, whatever happens
(Optional resolve: or )
One look at your brave face makes me a braver man
[Verse 2]
Put on your brave face, honey, your brave face
It s funny how fear can bring your focus in tight
Don t be ashamed, we all shoulder some blame
For the way that nothing ever really turned out right
The world is a mess now, baby, it s best now
If we start again with new visions in mind
So put on your brave face, honey, your brave face
Honey, and we ll make it to the other side
[Bridge]
If we have to do this, let s do it smiling
And I won t let it show that my hands are shaking
We re gonna die like kings and queens
Though we live like beggars
So put on your brave face, honey, your brave face
Honey, and let s go down together
[Chorus]
Make me a promise that when the world ends
(Optional resolve: or )
You ll kiss me and you ll hold my hand
And then we ll get through this, whatever happens
(Optional resolve: or )
One look at your brave face makes me a braver man
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Now if we have to do this, then let s do it smiling
And I won t let it show that my hands are shaking
We re gonna die like kings and queens
Though we live like beggars
So put on your brave face, honey, your brave face
Honey, and let s go down together
[Chorus]
Make me a promise that when the world ends
(Optional resolve: or )
You ll kiss me and you ll hold my hand
And then we ll get through this, whatever happens
(Optional resolve: or )
One look at your brave face makes me a braver man
