[Verse 1 - 4/4 rhythm]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
Just ...re - member you’re a tiny little person on a planet,
G G6 G7 D7
In a universe ex - panding, and im - mense,
Am Ammaj7 Am7 D7
That life began e - volving, and dis - solving, and re - solving,
Am7 G D7
In the deep primordial oceans by the hydrothermal vents!
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
Our earth, which had its birth almost five billion years a - go,
G/F# E E7 Am
From out of a col - lapsing cloud of gas,
C C#dim G E7
Grew life which was quite new, and e - ventually led to you,
A7 D7 G D7
In only 3.5 ...billion years, or less!
[Verse 3]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
De - oxyribonu - cleic acid helps us repli - cate,
G G6 G7 D7
And randomly mu - tate from day to day,
Am AmMaj7
We left the seas, and climbed the trees,
Am7 D7 m7 D7 G
And our biolo - gies ...con - tinued to e - volve through D N A !
[Verse 4]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
We’re 98 .9 per cent the same as chimpan - zees,
G/F# E E7 Am
Whose trees we left three million years a - go,
C C#dim G
To wander swapping genes, out of Africa,
E7 A7 D7 G
Which means ...we’re re - lated to everyone we know!
("Oo, 'ello, love!")
[Verse 5 and 6 - Waltz time rhythm]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
Life is quite strange, life is quite weird,
G G6 G7 D7
Life is really quite odd,
Am Ammaj7 Am7 D7
Life from a star ...is far more biz - arre,
Am7 D7 G
Than an old bearded bloke they call God!
[Verse 6]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
So gaze at the sky, and start asking why...
G/F# E E7 Am
...You’re even here on this ball,
C C#dim G E7
For though life is fraught, the odds are so short,
A7 D7 G
You’re lucky ...to be here at all!

[Verse 7 - Back to 4/4 rhythm]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
Standing on a planet which is spinning 'round a star,
G G6 G7 D7
One of just a billion trillion suns,
Am Ammaj7 Am7 D7
In a Universe that’s ninety billion light years side to side,
Am D7 G
Wondering where the heck it all came from!
[Verse 8]
G Gmaj7 G6 G *
You’ve a tiny little blink of life to try and under - stand...
G/F# E E7 Am
...What on earth is really going on,
C C#dim G E7
In bi - ology and chemistry, which made you you, and made me me,
A7 D7 G
But don’t ask me ...I only wrote the song!
