[Chorus]
C E7 Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Am
Now our time has come
D7sus4 G C
And I'd be satisfied if we died together
E7
Yeah, our climate's fucked
Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
We might as well enjoy the weather
Am D7sus4 G
Our time is up and I'd be satisfied
C
If we died together
[Verse 1]
C E7
All this talk of greenhouse gases got me taciturn
Fmaj7 D#dim7
Let's just stick our tongues out in the poisoned rain and let the acid burn
Em7 Am D7sus4
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
C E7 Fmaj7
And on the bright side, if the sun explodes before our april break, then we won't have to do our tax returns
D#dim7 Em7 Am
Here's the way I see it, if we're gonna die, let's do it on romantic terms
D7sus4 G
Like we could linger on the board walk, watch tsunamis from the turf shore
C E7
I'll go get my board shorts, and you could bring your surfboard
Fmaj7 D#dim7
Maybe we'll hold hands as we get swallowed into Earth's core
Em7 Am
Or we could sing a christmas carol like a little chorus choir
D7sus4 G
By a thousand christmas trees lit up from a forest fire
C E7
And watch the prancing dashing comets blitz into the forest pyre
Fmaj7 D#dim7
Not the reindeer but the kind that killed the brontosaurus prior
Em7 Am D7sus4
And all it's dino peers, and if the ice age hits then we could be rancheros on the high frontier
G
Anthropocene pioneers
C E7
And melt each other's hearts on thawing glaciers in the cryosphere
Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
The worst part is this wasn't always something that we couldn't stop, like
Am
We lived through every benchmark
D7sus4 G
I remember me and you read every update bout sea levels on our desktop
C E7 Fmaj7
So if we can't save us, maybe we could save the future from environmental deadlock
D#dim7 Em7
Maybe in an era when we're settled into bedrock
Am D7sus4 G
A later civ would dig us out, and we'd make headlines, heck, we might even make a ted talk
C E7
And we could write a note, like don't fuck up your planet please
Fmaj7 D#dim7
Look at how things turned out for humanity
Em7 Am
And maybe they would read it, or maybe they would use our carbon molecules
D7sus4 G
And particles from follicles as fossil fuel
C
Maybe it's impossible to change things
E7
But we can try them anyway
Fmaj7 D#dim7
Be carbon-complex renegades and then decay
Em7 Am
And I would hold you near as we're infected by the zika or ebola scares
D7sus4 G
Get smoldered by a solar flare or iced out with the polar bears
C
I promise
[Chorus]
C E7 Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Am
Now our time has come
D7sus4 G C
And I'd be satisfied if we died together
E7
Yeah, our climate's fucked
Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
We might as well enjoy the weather
Am D7sus4 G
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
Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
The size of a minute raisin in quiet and icy statis
Am
And when the fires slay our cryogenic hideaway
D7sus4 G C
We could try to lie awake and dream about the finer days
E7
Before the roads and paths were frozen, ashen plains
Fmaj7 D#dim7
And the cities turned to itty bitty rows of crashing planes
Em7 Am
Cracking pavement through the sad arrangements broken after-stains
D7sus4 G
Of blood and decimation, separating bones and mass from brains
C E7
When the days of olden past decay and exit through the years
Fmaj7 D#dim7
We can lay in fields of shattered glass and question why we're here
Em7 Am
If so many left this planet, without any second chances
D7sus4 G
Why did we awake one morning to a seperate time of cheer
C E7
But the queries tend to drift and fade as eerieness can slip away
Fmaj7 D#dim7
And hearing me, the loneliness demotes itself to in-your-face
Em7 Am
Awareness of surroundings like a photograph in picture frames
D7sus4 G
Glad to know it's only you and i among the flicking flames
C E7
Maybe even time can take a couple minutes off
Fmaj7 D#dim7
And we can live forever while the planet is eclipsed in fog
Em7 Am
It might boast disaster, dear, but we can sing a different song
D7sus4 G
And use the white house pillars as a mighty builder's lincoln logs
C E7
Make games of chutes and ladders out of real chutes and ladders
Fmaj7 D#dim7
In an old apartment complex, like we even knew it mattered
Em7 Am
Through the battered, beaten, broken bones and factories and open homes
D7sus4 G
I'm sure that we'd survive enough to see the moons of saturn
C E7
Solving puzzles of the universe from jupiter to mars
Fmaj7 D#dim7
Playing scientists to try and say we flew there in our cars
Em7 Am
Like, "maybe it's not all bad, this scenic view's bizarre"
D7sus4 G
Watching hydrocarbon neptune snow dissolving from the stars
C E7
I never thought i'd say this, but frankly it's been peaceful
Fmaj7 D#dim7
To escape from that distasteful state of hate, deceit, and evil
Em7 Am
Sure, a planet to ourselves is quite a journey for two people
D7sus4 G C
But the only time i'm happy for's the time i get to see you
[Chorus]
C E7 Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Am
Now our time has come
D7sus4 G C
And I'd be satisfied if we died together
E7
Yeah, our climate's fucked
Fmaj7 D#dim7 Em7
We might as well enjoy the weather
Am D7sus4 G
Our time is up and I'd be satisfied
C
If we died together
