[Intro]
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7

[Verse]
C Cmaj7 G
Forever this universe expands but shrinks,
G Gmaj7 G
Forever this universe explodes while imploding,
D Emin Emin7 D
Maybe God is just to make sense of this unfathomable thing,
D Emin C Cmaj7
After all, aren’t we all just bits of carbon arranged in a shape,
G D
That lets us walk and talk and have all this faith,

[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so why, why,
G Gmaj7
Why not enjoy this fleeting life,
D
Before it’s over,
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so say, say,
G Gmaj7 G
Say you wanna live this life away,
D
Before it’s over,

[Verse]
C Cmaj7
I’m not sure anyone created all of this,
G Gmaj7 G
None of this could be attributed to hers or theirs or his,
D
Maybe this is it,
Emin C
After all, aren’t we all just bits of carbon being angry on Twitter,
G D/A
Perhaps this isn’t the time for being bitter,

[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so why, why,
G Gmaj7 G
Why try and make sense of this fleeting life,
D
Before it’s over,
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so say, say,
G Gmaj7 G
Say you think that it’s okay,
D
Before it’s over,

[Instrumental]
Cmaj7 C Gmaj7 G C G D C

[Bridge]
Cmaj7 C
It seems pretty likely that the likeliness of a heaven or hell,
G Gmaj7
Is not that likely at all, so I bid it farewell,
D7
Maybe this is all we have coz’,
D Emin Cmaj7 G D
After all, aren’t we all just bits of carbon with shoes,

[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so tell her,
G Gmaj7 G
You could be happy together,
D
Before it’s over,

[Verse]
C Cmaj7
Going with the flow of likelihoods as a theme,
G D/A
It’s likely that a life of unexpectedness will make you happy,
D D7
Maybe I’m talking shit,
D Emin C Cmaj7
After all, aren’t I just a self righteous bit of carbon with a mic,
G D
Using music to compensate for my lack of height,
C Cmaj7 G Gmaj7 C
We’re just fucking carbon,
