I wish this moment would stay

With the earth

Some primal paradise
Bbm                     Fm
But there you go again
Fm                      Gb
Saying everything ends

Saying you can't depend on anything

Or anyone

If the end of the world was near

Where would you choose to be?

If there was five more minutes

Of air

Would you panic and hide?

Or run for your life?

Or stand here and spend it with me?

Would I, could I make you happy?

Living day after day

Like some primal animals

We would love again

Under glorious suns

With the freedom that comes with the truth

So it finally came to pass
Fm                         Gb
I saw the end of the world
Gb
Saw the madness unfold
Ab         Fm     Bbm
Like some primal burial
                       Fm
And I looked back upon
     Gb
Armageddon
                                Fm      Gb
And the moment of truth between you and me

If we had five more minutes
   Gb     Ab
Of air to breathe
       Db     Ab   Bbm
And we cried all through it
        Gb             Ab
But you spend them with me
       Db    Ab   Bbm
On our last few drags
   Gb     Ab
Of air we agree
Gb         Ab        Bbm
I was, and you were, happy
