Verse 1:
Abm                    Ebm
Breathe the air again
Ebm                    E
It's a beautiful day
E
I wish this moment would stay
Gb
With the earth
     Ebm     Abm
Some primal paradise
Abm                     Ebm
But there you go again
Ebm                      E
Saying everything ends
                             Gb
Saying you can't depend on anything
Eb7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Abm                B         E
If the end of the world was near
B                Gb        Abm
Where would you choose to be?
             E   B    Gb
If there was five more minutes
    Eb
Of air
           E
Would you panic and hide?
   B
Or run for your life?
   Gb                              E
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          B    Gb    Abm
If we had five more minutes
E       Gb                Abm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Abm                       Ebm
And we would live again
Ebm                       E
In the simplest of ways
E
Living day after day
Gb          Ebm     Abm
Like some primal animals
Abm                  Ebm
We would love again
Ebm                  E
Under glorious suns
                            Gb
With the freedom that comes with the truth

Eb7
 
Chorus:
Abm                B         E
If the end of the world was near
B                Gb        Abm
Where would you choose to be?
             E   B    Gb
If there was five more minutes
    Eb
Of air
           E
Would you panic and hide?
   B
Or run for your life?
   Gb                              E
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          B    Gb    Abm
If we had five more minutes
E       Gb                Abm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
 Bridge:
Abm                    Ebm
So it finally came to pass
Ebm                         E
I saw the end of the world
E
Saw the madness unfold
Gb         Ebm     Abm
Like some primal burial
                       Ebm
And I looked back upon
     E
Armageddon
                                Ebm      E
And the moment of truth between you and me

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