Verse 1:
Em                    Bm
Breathe the air again
Bm                    C
It's a beautiful day
C
I wish this moment would stay
D
With the earth
     Bm     Em
Some primal paradise
Em                     Bm
But there you go again
Bm                      C
Saying everything ends
                             D
Saying you can't depend on anything
B7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Em                G         C
If the end of the world was near
G                D        Em
Where would you choose to be?
             C   G    D
If there was five more minutes
    B
Of air
           C
Would you panic and hide?
   G
Or run for your life?
   D                              C
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          G    D    Em
If we had five more minutes
C       D                Em
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Em                       Bm
And we would live again
Bm                       C
In the simplest of ways
C
Living day after day
D          Bm     Em
Like some primal animals
Em                  Bm
We would love again
Bm                  C
Under glorious suns
                            D
With the freedom that comes with the truth

B7

Em                G         C
If the end of the world was near
G                D        Em
Where would you choose to be?

Or run for your life?

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