And things seem hard or tough
Fdim B G#7
and people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
C#m F#7 F#aug
and you feel like youve had quite enough
B
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
F#
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
B
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
G# C#m
Are moving at a million miles a day
E Fdim B/F# Cdim
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
C# F# B
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
link: E Fdim B/F# Cdim C# F# B
B
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
F#
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
B
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
G# C#m
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
E Fdim B/F# Cdim
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
C# F# B
In this amazing and expanding universe.
String solo: Same chords as the verse
B
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
F#
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
B
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
G# C#m
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
E Fdim B/F# Cdim
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
C# F# B
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
