Verse 1:
Ebm                    Bbm
Breathe the air again
Bbm                    B
It's a beautiful day
B
I wish this moment would stay
Db
With the earth
     Bbm     Ebm
Some primal paradise
Ebm                     Bbm
But there you go again
Bbm                      B
Saying everything ends
                             Db
Saying you can't depend on anything
Bb7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Ebm                Gb         B
If the end of the world was near
Gb                Db        Ebm
Where would you choose to be?
             B   Gb    Db
If there was five more minutes
    Bb
Of air
           B
Would you panic and hide?
   Gb
Or run for your life?
   Db                              B
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          Gb    Db    Ebm
If we had five more minutes
B       Db                Ebm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Ebm                       Bbm
And we would live again
Bbm                       B
In the simplest of ways
B
Living day after day
Db          Bbm     Ebm
Like some primal animals
Ebm                  Bbm
We would love again
Bbm                  B
Under glorious suns
                            Db
With the freedom that comes with the truth

Bb7

Ebm                Gb         B
If the end of the world was near
Gb                Db        Ebm
Where would you choose to be?

Would you panic and hide?

Would I, could I make you happy?
 
 Bridge:
Ebm                    Bbm
So it finally came to pass
Bbm                         B
I saw the end of the world
B
Saw the madness unfold
Db         Bbm     Ebm
Like some primal burial
                       Bbm
And I looked back upon
     B
Armageddon
                                Bbm      B
And the moment of truth between you and me

Outro:
          -nc-      Ebm
If we had five more minutes
   B     Db
Of air to breathe
       Gb     Db   Ebm
And we cried all through it
        B             Db
But you spend them with me
       Gb    Db   Ebm
On our last few drags
   B     Db
Of air we agree
B         Db        Ebm
I was, and you were, happy
