[Verse]
G
Well they locked me up and they threw me away,
D
and the one comfort I would let myself take was that someday
C
I'd get out, and I would make it home to you
G
So when the guards spoke up saying on the PA
G
we had an hour, or less til we’re all blown away,
D C
I took the first chance that I got and headed for the parking lot
[Chorus]
Am
Cause if I only got to see you for a minute or two,
C
well it would all be worth my time
Am C
Nothing mattered more, 2, 3, 4 wouldn’t have crossed my mind
G
Oh shit, I think we’d better check the time
[Interlude]
G D C
[Verse]
G
Pedal on the floor, a single thought in my head:
G
With the a-bombs a-falling it's all good in the end
D C
just to hold you, if only for a minute or two
G
So with a quarter tank of gas, and just a second to spare,
G
I swear to god the clock stopped, our gaze hung in the air,
D C
and I will hold you, even as the world blows up
{Chorus]
Am
Now I only get to see you for a minute or two,
C
but yeah it’s all been worth my time
Am
Nothing matters more, 2, 3, 4
C D G
Everything feels just fine
[Interlude]
G D C (x2)
[Chorus]
Am
As the sky fell down, the voice inside of my head
C
should've said "run, run away,"
Am
but at The End it kept quiet, fucking quiet at last,
C
so in the background it’ll stay
Am
Cause I only got to see you for a minute or two,
C
but damn, it all was worth my time
Am
Nothing mattered more, 2, 3, 4
C
wouldn’t have crossed my mind
G
Oh shit, I think we just ran out of time
