Verse 1:
Dbm                    Abm
Breathe the air again
Abm                    A
It's a beautiful day
A
I wish this moment would stay
B
With the earth
     Abm     Dbm
Some primal paradise
Dbm                     Abm
But there you go again
Abm                      A
Saying everything ends
                             B
Saying you can't depend on anything
Ab7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Dbm                E         A
If the end of the world was near
E                B        Dbm
Where would you choose to be?
             A   E    B
If there was five more minutes
    Ab
Of air
           A
Would you panic and hide?
   E
Or run for your life?
   B                              A
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          E    B    Dbm
If we had five more minutes
A       B                Dbm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Dbm                       Abm
And we would live again
Abm                       A
In the simplest of ways
A
Living day after day
B          Abm     Dbm
Like some primal animals
Dbm                  Abm
We would love again
Abm                  A
Under glorious suns
                            B
With the freedom that comes with the truth

Ab7
 
Chorus:
Dbm                E         A
If the end of the world was near
E                B        Dbm
Where would you choose to be?
             A   E    B
If there was five more minutes
    Ab
Of air
           A
Would you panic and hide?
   E
Or run for your life?
   B                              A
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          E    B    Dbm
If we had five more minutes
A       B                Dbm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
 Bridge:
Dbm                    Abm
So it finally came to pass
Abm                         A
I saw the end of the world
A
Saw the madness unfold
B         Abm     Dbm
Like some primal burial
                       Abm
And I looked back upon
     A
Armageddon
                                Abm      A
And the moment of truth between you and me
 
Interlude:
Abm A Abm A
Oh...
 
Outro:
          -nc-      Dbm
If we had five more minutes
   A     B
Of air to breathe
       E     B   Dbm
And we cried all through it
        A             B
But you spend them with me
       E    B   Dbm
On our last few drags
   A     B
Of air we agree
A         B        Dbm
I was, and you were, happy
