D


[Verse 1]
   G       A         D
To make a long, long story terse
F#              Bm
  Be it blessing, be it curse
    G                  D/F#
The Lord designed this universe
     Em            A
With built-in obsolescence
     G         A       D
Each twinkling little star and sun
  F#            Bm
Enjoys its own atomic run
  G                D/F#
Exploding when its time is done
     Em     A    D
With cosmic incandescence


[Verse 2]
 G         A   D
Astronomers predict someday
F#                Bm
  Our own sun will blaze away;
G                  D/F#
There'll be a glorious display
   Em              A
Of sunburst helium masses
    G      A      D
Our little planet Earth below
     F#            Bm
Will join this pyrotechnic show
     G            D/F#
With blazing hydrogen aglow
    Em    A       D
And thermonuclear gasses


[Verse 3]
      Em                A
Thank God this great combustion day
   A               Bm
Is several billion years away
   G         D/F#
So as philosophers all say
    Em                  A
Why fret, why fume, why worry?
  G        A         D
A jillion moons will wane and wax
F#                        Bm
  Sit down, make out your income tax
  G                 D/F#
Enjoy your life, be calm, relax
    Em     A     D
For God is in no hurry


[Outro]
     Em                A
But, oh, my friends, I have a hunch
N.C.                   Bm
Mankind might beat God to the punch
