  G            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,
      D7              Am7                D7                Am7
That life began e - volving, and dis - solving, and re - solving,
        D7               Am             G          D7
In the deep primordial oceans by the hydrothermal vents!


      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,
        Am7      D7                G    D7
In only 3.5 ...billion years, or less!


        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             Am7           D7               G 
And our biolo - gies ...con - tinued to e - volve through D N A !


      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                  Am7       D7         G
Which means ...we're re - lated to everyone we know!

("Oo, 'ello, love!")


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,
        Am           D7              G
Than an old bearded bloke they call God!


    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,
        Am7        D7          G
You're lucky ...to be here at all!

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!


          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,
     Am7               D7             G
But don't ask me ...I only wrote the song!
