Intro: Am  Em  F  G Em
 
Verse 1:
Am                    Em
Breathe the air again
Em                    F
It's a beautiful day
F
I wish this moment would stay
G
With the earth
     Em     Am
Some primal paradise
Am                     Em
But there you go again
Em                      F
Saying everything ends
                             G
Saying you can't depend on anything
E7
Or anyone
 
Chorus:
Am                C         F
If the end of the world was near
C                G        Am
Where would you choose to be?
             F   C    G
If there was five more minutes
    E
Of air
           F
Would you panic and hide?
   C
Or run for your life?
   G                              F
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          C    G    Am
If we had five more minutes
F       G                Am
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
Verse 2:
Am                       Em
And we would live again
Em                       F
In the simplest of ways
F
Living day after day
G          Em     Am
Like some primal animals
Am                  Em
We would love again
Em                  F
Under glorious suns
                            G
With the freedom that comes with the truth

E7
 
Chorus:
Am                C         F
If the end of the world was near
C                G        Am
Where would you choose to be?
             F   C    G
If there was five more minutes
    E
Of air
           F
Would you panic and hide?
   C
Or run for your life?
   G                              F
Or stand here and spend it with me?
          C    G    Am
If we had five more minutes
F       G                Am
Would I, could I make you happy?
 
 Bridge:
Am                    Em
So it finally came to pass
Em                         F
I saw the end of the world
F
Saw the madness unfold
G         Em     Am
Like some primal burial
                       Em
And I looked back upon
     F
Armageddon
                                Em      F
And the moment of truth between you and me
 
Interlude:
Em F Em F
Oh...
 
Outro:
          -nc-      Am
If we had five more minutes
   F     G
Of air to breathe
       C     G   Am
And we cried all through it
        F             G
But you spend them with me
       C    G   Am
On our last few drags
   F     G
Of air we agree
F         G        Am
I was, and you were, happy
