[Chorus]
CE7Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Am
Now our time has come
D7sus4GC
And I'd be satisfied if we died together
E7
Yeah, our climate's fucked
Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
We might as well enjoy the weather
AmD7sus4G
Our time is up and I'd be satisfied
C
If we died together
[Verse 1]
CE7
All this talk of greenhouse gases got me taciturn
Fmaj7D#dim7
Let's just stick our tongues out in the poisoned rain and let the acid burn
Em7AmD7sus4
And when the Earth swings out of orbit, we can spin in circles on the grassy ferns
G
And just pretend to watch it's axis turn
CE7Fmaj7
And on the bright side, if the sun explodes before our april break, then we won't have to do our tax returns
D#dim7Em7Am
Here's the way I see it, if we're gonna die, let's do it on romantic terms
D7sus4G
Like we could linger on the board walk, watch tsunamis from the turf shore
CE7
I'll go get my board shorts, and you could bring your surfboard
Fmaj7D#dim7
Maybe we'll hold hands as we get swallowed into Earth's core
Em7Am
Or we could sing a christmas carol like a little chorus choir
D7sus4G
By a thousand christmas trees lit up from a forest fire
CE7
And watch the prancing dashing comets blitz into the forest pyre
Fmaj7D#dim7
Not the reindeer but the kind that killed the brontosaurus prior
Em7AmD7sus4
And all it's dino peers, and if the ice age hits then we could be rancheros on the high frontier
G
Anthropocene pioneers
CE7
And melt each other's hearts on thawing glaciers in the cryosphere
Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
The worst part is this wasn't always something that we couldn't stop, like
Am
We lived through every benchmark
D7sus4G
I remember me and you read every update bout sea levels on our desktop
CE7Fmaj7
So if we can't save us, maybe we could save the future from environmental deadlock
D#dim7Em7
Maybe in an era when we're settled into bedrock
AmD7sus4G
A later civ would dig us out, and we'd make headlines, heck, we might even make a ted talk
CE7
And we could write a note, like don't fuck up your planet please
Fmaj7D#dim7
Look at how things turned out for humanity
Em7Am
And maybe they would read it, or maybe they would use our carbon molecules
D7sus4G
And particles from follicles as fossil fuel
C
Maybe it's impossible to change things
E7
But we can try them anyway
Fmaj7D#dim7
Be carbon-complex renegades and then decay
Em7Am
And I would hold you near as we're infected by the zika or ebola scares
D7sus4G
Get smoldered by a solar flare or iced out with the polar bears
C
I promise
[Chorus]
CE7Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Am
Now our time has come
D7sus4GC
And I'd be satisfied if we died together
E7
Yeah, our climate's fucked
Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
We might as well enjoy the weather
AmD7sus4G
Our time is up and I'd be satisfied
C
If we died together
[Verse 2]
E7
You and i could be capsulated inside a space
Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
The size of a minute raisin in quiet and icy statis
Am
And when the fires slay our cryogenic hideaway
D7sus4GC
We could try to lie awake and dream about the finer days
E7
Before the roads and paths were frozen, ashen plains
Fmaj7D#dim7
And the cities turned to itty bitty rows of crashing planes
Em7Am
Cracking pavement through the sad arrangements broken after-stains
D7sus4G
Of blood and decimation, separating bones and mass from brains
CE7
When the days of olden past decay and exit through the years
Fmaj7D#dim7
We can lay in fields of shattered glass and question why we're here
Em7Am
If so many left this planet, without any second chances
D7sus4G
Why did we awake one morning to a seperate time of cheer
CE7
But the queries tend to drift and fade as eerieness can slip away
Fmaj7D#dim7
And hearing me, the loneliness demotes itself to in-your-face
Em7Am
Awareness of surroundings like a photograph in picture frames
D7sus4G
Glad to know it's only you and i among the flicking flames
CE7
Maybe even time can take a couple minutes off
Fmaj7D#dim7
And we can live forever while the planet is eclipsed in fog
Em7Am
It might boast disaster, dear, but we can sing a different song
D7sus4G
And use the white house pillars as a mighty builder's lincoln logs
CE7
Make games of chutes and ladders out of real chutes and ladders
Fmaj7D#dim7
In an old apartment complex, like we even knew it mattered
Em7Am
Through the battered, beaten, broken bones and factories and open homes
D7sus4G
I'm sure that we'd survive enough to see the moons of saturn
CE7
Solving puzzles of the universe from jupiter to mars
Fmaj7D#dim7
Playing scientists to try and say we flew there in our cars
Em7Am
Like, "maybe it's not all bad, this scenic view's bizarre"
D7sus4G
Watching hydrocarbon neptune snow dissolving from the stars
CE7
I never thought i'd say this, but frankly it's been peaceful
Fmaj7D#dim7
To escape from that distasteful state of hate, deceit, and evil
Em7Am
Sure, a planet to ourselves is quite a journey for two people
D7sus4GC
But the only time i'm happy for's the time i get to see you
[Chorus]
CE7Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Am
Now our time has come
D7sus4GC
And I'd be satisfied if we died together
E7
Yeah, our climate's fucked
Fmaj7D#dim7Em7
We might as well enjoy the weather
AmD7sus4G
Our time is up and I'd be satisfied
C
If we died together
