[Verse 1]
C                          G                    Am
They say the poles are shifting
F                                      G
I don’t mean the ones on CNN
C                                      G                                      Am
I mean north, north and south they are flipping
F                                                  G
Maybe I’m alarmist but it sure feels like the end

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
C
But… I will find you where you are
G
Hitch a ride or steal a car
Am                          F                                      G
I will bike or jog or jump or break myself in two
C
When the streets run red with blood
G
Or turn to rivers due to flood
Am                                      F                                        G
There is no dystopia that I wouldn’t walk on through

Cause if the world is ending
F              G              Am
I’d prefer to be with you

I would prefer to be with you

[Verse 2]
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                                                               G
You’d have every right to laugh and call me a liar

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
C
I will find you where you are
G
Hitch a ride or steal a car
Am                                      F                          G
I will fight the zombies and the vigilantes too
C
When everyone has lost their grips
G
In the post-apocalypse
Am                                      F                                      G
I will keep my mind clear 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                          F                                      G
A treehouse by the water and a trusty old canoe
C
We won’t need electricity
G
At the tail-end of history
Am                                                   F                                                  G
We’ll whittle our own soap 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
