Tone [C]
T[C]hey sa[G]y the po[Am]les are shifting
I don’t [F]mean the ones on C[G]NN
I mean [C]north, north and s[G]outh they [Am]are flipping
M[F]aybe I’m alarmist but it s[G]ure feels like the end
[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
For societal [G7]collapse
But… [C]I will find you where you are
[G]Hitch a ride or steal a car
[Am]I will bike or jog or jump or b[F]reak myself in t[G]wo
[C]When the streets run red with blood
Or [G]turn to rivers due to flood
[Am]There is no dystopia that [F]I wouldn’t walk on thr[G]ough
Cause [F]if the world is e[C]nding
I’d pr[F]efer to [G]be with y[Am]ou
I would pre[F]fer to [G]be with [C]you
I [C]make my h[G]ome in C[Am]alifornia
[F]Every other month the state’s on[G] fire
[C]If I, if I [G]said it didn’t [Am]concern me
[F]You’d have every right to laugh and call me a [G]liar
[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
Last look is in your [G7]eyes
[C]I will find you where you are
[G]Hitch a ride or steal a car
[Am]I will fight the zombies and the [F]vigilantes [G]too
When [C]everyone has lost their grips
[G]In the post-apocalypse
[Am]I will keep my mind clear and my [F]values ever [G]true
Cause [F]if the world is [C]ending
I’d [F]prefer to [G]be with [Am]you
I would pre[F]fer to be[G]……
[C]I will find you where you roam
[G]And we will build some better home
[Am]A treehouse by the water and a t[F]rusty old c[G]anoe
We [C]won’t need electricity
At [G]the tail-end of history
We’ll [Am]whittle our own
soap and bathe with [F]natural sha[G]mpoo
Cause [F]if the world is [C]ending
I’d [F]prefer to [G]be with [Am]you
I would [F]prefer to [G]be with [C]you
