Intro: Dm  Am  Bb  C Am
 
Verse 1:
Dm                    Am
Breathe the air again
Am                    Bb
It's a beautiful day
Bb
I wish this moment would stay
C
With the earth
     Am     Dm
Some primal paradise
Dm                     Am
But there you go again
Am                      Bb
Saying everything ends
                             C
Saying you can't depend on anything
A7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Dm                F         Bb
If the end of the world was near
F                C        Dm
Where would you choose to be?
             Bb   F    C
If there was five more minutes
    A
Of air
           Bb
Would you panic and hide?
   F
Or run for your life?
   C                              Bb
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          F    C    Dm
If we had five more minutes
Bb       C                Dm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Dm                       Am
And we would live again
Am                       Bb
In the simplest of ways
Bb
Living day after day
C          Am     Dm
Like some primal animals
Dm                  Am
We would love again
Am                  Bb
Under glorious suns
                            C
With the freedom that comes with the truth

A7
 
Chorus:
Dm                F         Bb
If the end of the world was near
F                C        Dm
Where would you choose to be?
             Bb   F    C
If there was five more minutes
    A
Of air
           Bb
Would you panic and hide?
   F
Or run for your life?
   C                              Bb
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          F    C    Dm
If we had five more minutes

Would I, could I make you happy?
 
 Bridge:
Dm                    Am
So it finally came to pass
Am                         Bb
I saw the end of the world
Bb
Saw the madness unfold
C         Am     Dm
Like some primal burial
                       Am
And I looked back upon
     Bb
Armageddon
                                Am      Bb
And the moment of truth between you and me
 
Interlude:
Am Bb Am Bb
Oh...
 
Outro:
          (nc)      Dm
If we had five more minutes
   Bb     C
Of air to breathe
       F     C   Dm
And we cried all through it
        Bb             C
But you spend them with me
       F    C   Dm
On our last few drags
   Bb     C
Of air we agree
Bb         C        Dm
I was, and you were, happy
