Verse 1:
Gbm                    Dbm
Breathe the air again
Dbm                    D
It's a beautiful day
D
I wish this moment would stay
E
With the earth
     Dbm     Gbm
Some primal paradise
Gbm                     Dbm
But there you go again
Dbm                      D
Saying everything ends
                             E
Saying you can't depend on anything
Db7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Gbm                A         D
If the end of the world was near
A                E        Gbm
Where would you choose to be?
             D   A    E
If there was five more minutes
    Db
Of air
           D
Would you panic and hide?
   A
Or run for your life?
   E                              D
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          A    E    Gbm
If we had five more minutes
D       E                Gbm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Gbm                       Dbm
And we would live again
Dbm                       D
In the simplest of ways
D
Living day after day
E          Dbm     Gbm
Like some primal animals
Gbm                  Dbm
We would love again
Dbm                  D
Under glorious suns
                            E
With the freedom that comes with the truth

Db7
 
Chorus:
Gbm                A         D
If the end of the world was near
A                E        Gbm
Where would you choose to be?
             D   A    E
If there was five more minutes
    Db
Of air
           D
Would you panic and hide?
   A
Or run for your life?
   E                              D
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          A    E    Gbm
If we had five more minutes
D       E                Gbm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
 Bridge:
Gbm                    Dbm
So it finally came to pass
Dbm                         D
I saw the end of the world
D
Saw the madness unfold
E         Dbm     Gbm
Like some primal burial
                       Dbm
And I looked back upon
     D
Armageddon
                                Dbm      D
And the moment of truth between you and me

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