breathe the air again, it's a beautiful day
Ab                                      Gm         Gm7 G  Cm
I wish this moment would stay with the earth some primal paradise
                    Gm
there you go again, saying everything ends
Ab                          Gm        G
saying you can't depend on anything, or anyone

Cm                Eb         Ab
if the end of the world was near
Eb               G      Cm
where would you choose to be?
              Ab    Eb    Bb          G
if there were five more minutes of air
Ab
would you panic and hide
Eb
or run for your life
G                          Ab
or stand here and spend it with me
          Eb    G    Cm
if we had five more minutes
Ab        Bb                 Cm
would I, could I, make you happy?

Verse 2:

we would live again, in the simplest of ways
Ab                     Gm        Gm7 G  Cm
living day after day, like some primal animals
                         Gm
and we would love again, under glorious suns
Ab                                     Gm G
with the freedom that comes, from the truth

Cm                Eb         Ab
if the end of the world was near

where would you choose to be?
              Ab    Eb    Bb          G
if there were five more minutes of air
          Ab
would you panic and hide

or run for your life

or stand here and spend it with me
          Eb    G    Cm
if we had five more minutes
Ab        Bb                 Cm
would I, could I, make you happy?

so it finally came to pass, I saw the end of the world
Ab                         Gm        Gm7 G  Cm
I saw the madness unfold, like some primal burial
                Gm    Ab
I look back upon, Armageddon
                                 Gm      Ab
And the moment of truth between, you and me...

if we had five more minutes of air to breathe
       Eb     G   Cm                  Ab          Bb
and we cried all through it, but you spent them with me
       Eb    G   Cm       Ab      Bb
on our last few drags of air we agreed
Ab          Bb         Cm
i was, and you were, happy
