Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F#m]I don'[C#dim]t have[D][G]
any [D]philosophy[F#m]
[Em]Why [D]do I know [G]what I know?[Em][C][A]
[G]I see the w[C]orld in a c[C#dim]offee cup[C]
And [Ab]when I drink it down there I [A]go[Am]

[Verse 2]
[D]We have our [G]own kind of
[D]universe[F#m][Em]
[D]Sometime but [G]not always [Em]true[C][A]
[G]How come? Wait! [C]Maybe I [C#dim]think it is[C]
The [Ab]view is very [A]nice [Ebdim]and it's
[A]big [Ebdim]through and t[A]hrough

[Verse 3]
I got skills [A]and I got secrets,
I can part my [D]hair
[A]I feel an empty space where love could be
In adjoining universes
Touching here and there
I stick my head outside
and I can see [B]- that
[E]Particles

[Verse 4]
[A]spin 'round a [E]nucleus
[Abm]Planet[F#m]s enci[E]rcle[A]
the [F#m]sun[D][B]
[A]Further out [D]there is the [Ebdim]Milky Way[D]
The [F#m]coolest [Em]part of [A]all [D#dim]cracks me up[A],
[D#dim]Ev'rytime
[A][B]

[Verse 5]
[E]Life isn't [A]really mi[E]raculous[F#m]
[E]It had to [A]happen this [F#m]way[D][B]
[A]We had to [D]meet in this [D#dim]checkout [D]line
Ex[F#m]plain it [Em]as a [A]simple t[D#dim]wist of fate[A]
[D#dim]But we can't[A] - be [D#dim]- sure[D][Gm]
