Ian McConnell - EP. 4: Important

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
C C

[Verse 1]
C F
I’m pretty sure that life doesn’t have a meaning
Am Gadd11
And if there’s a god then he doesn’t look like me
C F
And I’m just a member of the current apex species
Am Gadd11
But there will be another when the humans go extinct

[Verse 2]
C
We’ve only been around two hundred thousand years
F
Of thirteen and a half billion years
Am
How can we think the pinnacle is here?
Gadd11
Isn’t that arrogant?
C
There’s a couple hundred billion trillion suns
F
And we act like it all was made for us
Am Gadd11
There ain’t no way that we’re the only ones

[Chorus]
F G C
I’m not important, and neither are you
F G Am
So let’s do whatever we wanna do
F G
Bask in our cosmic insignificance
G#dim Am
Soak up this blip we’re livin’ in
F
‘Cause nothing matters anyway
G
Isn’t that great?

[Verse 3]
C F
‘Cause humans aren’t really gonna kill the planet (yay!)
Am Gadd11
We’ll just make the planet unlivable for us (aww…)
C
But earth will keep right on spinning
F
Way long after we ain’t in it
Am
And life will keep right on livin’
Gadd11
‘Til the sun explodes and oh

[Chorus]
F G C
I’m not important, and neither are you
F G Am
So let’s do whatever we wanna do
F G
Bask in our cosmic insignificance
G#dim Am
Soak up this blip we’re livin’ in
F
‘Cause nothing matters anyway
Gadd11
Isn’t that great?

[Solo]
F Gadd11 C C
F Gadd11 Am Am

[Bridge]
F Gadd11
I don’t mean to be a downer
C C
I don’t even think it’s sad
F
The universe is gigantic
Gadd11
And it’s kinda beautiful that

[Chorus]
F G C
I’m not important, and neither are you
F G Am
So let’s do whatever we wanna do
F G
Bask in our cosmic insignificance
G#dim Am
Soak up this blip we’re livin’ in
F
‘Cause nothing matters anyway
G
Isn’t that great?
