The Existential Life Of Ants chords by Haley Blais

Chords with lyrics

(For the intro: Strum G+G for a bit.)

Verse:
G+G
The incident with Karen's dog
E minorEm
Still haunts me to this day
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I opened up the door to have a smoke
G+G        D MajorD
And he just ran away
G+G
My father, he is an actor
E minorEm
And actors they love to cry
Cmaj7Cmaj7                    G+G          D MajorD
But I never saw him sob on stage like he did when princess Diana died
(Optional: G+G for a bit)

Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
And I know it may feel heavy
G+G
The weight that you wear on your back
Cmaj7Cmaj7           G+G
You'll drop it when you're ready
B7B7                  E minorEm
And realize that you don't need that load of all the worry
Cmaj7Cmaj7
And all the things you thought that you can't
G+G               D MajorD
And you'll find you relate to the existential life of ants
(Optional: G+G for a bit)

Verse:
G+G
I used to hang out in the garden
E minorEm
'till I got allergies
Cmaj7Cmaj7                      G+G          D MajorD
Now I can't stick my nose in a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
G+G
It's been years since I've spoken to Karen
E minorEm
I know that she blames me
Cmaj7Cmaj7                          G+G                D MajorD
'cause I guess that the death the words promised on the carton of the cigarettes wasn't for me
(Optional: G+G for a bit)

Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
And I know it may feel heavy
G+G
The weight that you wear on your back
Cmaj7Cmaj7           G+G
You'll drop it when you're ready
B7B7                  E minorEm
And realize that you don't need that load of all the worry
Cmaj7Cmaj7
And all the things you thought that you can't
G+G               D MajorD
And you'll find you relate to the existential life of ants

Bridge:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
'cause we're much too small to think at all
G+G
About our wage or our status quo
Cmaj7Cmaj7      G+G
We just carry on one by one
B7B7               E minorEm
And bow to the queen before we go
G+G
Oooh (x4)

Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7
And I know it may feel heavy
G+G
The weight that you wear on your back
Cmaj7Cmaj7           G+G
You'll drop it when you're ready
B7B7                  E minorEm
And realize that you don't need that load of all the worry
Cmaj7Cmaj7
And all the things you thought that you can't
G+G               D MajorD
