Rob Dickinson original song
[Intro]
Dm  Am  Bb  C Am
[Strophe]
Dm                    Am 
Breathe the air again 
Am                    Bb 
It's a beautiful day 
Bb 
I wish this moment would stay 
C 
With the earth 
     Am     Dm 
Some primal paradise 
Dm                     Am 
But there you go again 
Am                      Bb 
Saying everything ends 
                             C 
Saying you can't depend on anything 
A7 
Or anyone
[Refrain]
Dm                F         Bb 
If the end of the world was near 
F                C        Dm 
Where would you choose to be? 
             Bb   F    C 
If there was five more minutes 
    A 
Of air 
           Bb 
Would you panic and hide? 
   F 
Or run for your life? 
   C                              Bb 
Or stand here and spend it with me? 
          F    C    Dm 
If we had five more minutes 
Bb       C                Dm 
Would I, could I make you happy?
[Strophe]
Dm                       Am 
And we would live again 
Am                       Bb 
In the simplest of ways 
Bb 
Living day after day 
C          Am     Dm 
Like some primal animals 
Dm                  Am 
We would love again 
Am                  Bb 
Under glorious suns 
                            C 
With the freedom that comes with the truth 
A7
[Refrain]
Dm                F         Bb 
If the end of the world was near 
F                C        Dm 
Where would you choose to be? 
             Bb   F    C 
If there was five more minutes 
    A 
Of air 
           Bb 
Would you panic and hide? 
   F 
Or run for your life? 
   C                              Bb 
Or stand here and spend it with me? 
          F    C    Dm 
If we had five more minutes 
Bb       C                Dm 
Would I, could I make you happy?
[Pont]
Dm                    Am 
So it finally came to pass 
Am                         Bb 
I saw the end of the world 
Bb 
Saw the madness unfold 
C         Am     Dm 
Like some primal burial 
                       Am 
And I looked back upon 
     Bb 
Armageddon 
                                Am      Bb 
And the moment of truth between you and me
[Interlude]
Am Bb Am Bb 
Oh...
[Outro]
          N.C.      Dm 
If we had five more minutes 
   Bb     C 
Of air to breathe 
       F     C   Dm 
And we cried all through it 
        Bb             C 
But you spend them with me 
       F    C   Dm 
On our last few drags 
   Bb     C 
Of air we agree 
Bb         C        Dm 
I was, and you were, happy
