Verse 1:
Cm                    Gm
Breathe the air again
Gm                    Ab
It's a beautiful day
Ab
I wish this moment would stay
Bb
With the earth
     Gm     Cm
Some primal paradise
Cm                     Gm
But there you go again
Gm                      Ab
Saying everything ends
                             Bb
Saying you can't depend on anything
G7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Cm                Eb         Ab
If the end of the world was near
Eb                Bb        Cm
Where would you choose to be?
             Ab   Eb    Bb
If there was five more minutes
    G
Of air
           Ab
Would you panic and hide?
   Eb
Or run for your life?
   Bb                              Ab
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          Eb    Bb    Cm
If we had five more minutes
Ab       Bb                Cm
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Cm                       Gm
And we would live again
Gm                       Ab
In the simplest of ways
Ab
Living day after day
Bb          Gm     Cm
Like some primal animals
Cm                  Gm
We would love again
Gm                  Ab
Under glorious suns
                            Bb
With the freedom that comes with the truth

G7

Cm                Eb         Ab
If the end of the world was near
Eb                Bb        Cm
Where would you choose to be?
             Ab   Eb    Bb
If there was five more minutes
    G
Of air
           Ab
Would you panic and hide?

Or run for your life?
   Bb                              Ab
Or stand here and spend it with me?

If we had five more minutes

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