Verse 1:
Gm                    Dm
Breathe the air again
Dm                    Eb
It's a beautiful day
Eb
I wish this moment would stay
F
With the earth
     Dm     Gm
Some primal paradise
Gm                     Dm
But there you go again
Dm                      Eb
Saying everything ends
                             F
Saying you can't depend on anything
D7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Gm                Bb         Eb
If the end of the world was near
Bb                F        Gm
Where would you choose to be?
             Eb   Bb    F
If there was five more minutes
    D
Of air
           Eb
Would you panic and hide?
   Bb
Or run for your life?
   F                              Eb
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          Bb    F    Gm
If we had five more minutes
Eb       F                Gm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Gm                       Dm
And we would live again
Dm                       Eb
In the simplest of ways
Eb
Living day after day
F          Dm     Gm
Like some primal animals
Gm                  Dm
We would love again
Dm                  Eb
Under glorious suns
                            F
With the freedom that comes with the truth

D7

Gm                Bb         Eb
If the end of the world was near
Bb                F        Gm
Where would you choose to be?
             Eb   Bb    F
If there was five more minutes
    D
Of air
           Eb
Would you panic and hide?
   Bb
Or run for your life?
   F                              Eb
Or stand here and spend it with me?

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