[Intro] C

[Primeira Parte]

C     G       Am
They say the poles are shifting
        F                 G
I don’t mean the ones on CNN
       C                 G
I mean north, north and south
     Am
They are flipping
 F                         G
Maybe I’m alarmist but it sure

Feels like the end

[Pré-Refrão]

Am
If we’re plunged in darkness
F
What’ll I do
G
I don’t own a shotgun
G
I’ve stockpiled no food
Am
I can’t hunt or navigate
F
I’m hopeless with maps
G
I’m wholly unprepared
             G7
For societal collapse

[Refrão]

       C
But... I will find you where you are
G
Hitch a ride or steal a car
Am
I will bike or jog or jump
    F               G
Or break myself in two
C
When the streets run red with blood
   G
Or turn to rivers due to flood
Am
There is no dystopia that
F                     G
I wouldn’t walk on through
      F                C
Cause if the world is ending
      F       G        Am
I’d prefer to be with you
           F      G       C
I would prefer to be with you

[Segunda Parte]

  C        G       Am
I make my home in California
F                               G
Every other month the state’s on fire
C          G              Am
If I, if I said it didn’t concern me
F
You’d have every right to laugh
              G
And call me a liar

[Pré-Refrão]

Am
I don’t know if there is
F
A better place than this
G
If there could be a feeling
G
More soothing than your kiss
Am
And if the wild fires spread
F
And the ocean waters rise
G
I’ll be fine as long as my
                     G7
Last look is in your eyes

[Refrão Final]

C
I will find you where you are
G
Hitch a ride or steal a car
Am
I will fight the zombies
        F          G
And the vigilantes too
     C
When everyone has lost their grips
G
In the post-apocalypse
Am
I will keep my mind clear
       F           G
And my values ever true
      F               C
Cause if the world is ending
    F         G       Am
I’d prefer to be with you
           F         G
I would prefer to be

C
I will find you where you roam
G
And we will build some better home
Am
A treehouse by the water
       F          G
And a trusty old canoe
   C
We won’t need electricity
   G
At the tail-end of history
      Am
We’ll whittle our own soap
               F          G
And bathe with natural shampoo
      F               C
Cause if the world is ending
    F         G       Am
I’d prefer to be with you
        F         G       C
I would prefer to be with you
