Verse 1:
Am                     Em
breathe the air again, it's a beautiful day
F                                      Em         Em7 E  Am
I wish this moment would stay with the earth some primal paradise
                    Em
there you go again, saying everything ends
F                          Em        E
saying you can't depend on anything, or anyone
 
Chorus:
Am                C         F
if the end of the world was near
C               E      Am
where would you choose to be?
              F    C    G          E
if there were five more minutes of air
F
would you panic and hide
C
or run for your life
E                          F
or stand here and spend it with me
          C    E    Am
if we had five more minutes
F        G                 Am
would I, could I, make you happy?

Verse 2:
Am                   Em
we would live again, in the simplest of ways
F                     Em        Em7 E  Am
living day after day, like some primal animals
                         Em
and we would love again, under glorious suns
F                                     Em E
with the freedom that comes, from the truth
 
Chorus:
Am                C         F
if the end of the world was near
C               E      Am
where would you choose to be?
              F    C    G          E
if there were five more minutes of air
          F
would you panic and hide
   C
or run for your life
   E                            F
or stand here and spend it with me
          C    E    Am
if we had five more minutes
F        G                 Am
would I, could I, make you happy?

Break:
Am                    Em
so it finally came to pass, I saw the end of the world
F                         Em        Em7 E  Am
I saw the madness unfold, like some primal burial
                Em    F
I look back upon, Armageddon
                                 Em      F
And the moment of truth between, you and me...

Outro:
C         (nc)      Am         F      G
if we had five more minutes of air to breathe
       C     E   Am                  F          G
and we cried all through it, but you spent them with me
       C    E   Am       F      G
on our last few drags of air we agreed
F          G         Am
i was, and you were, happy
