The Existential Life Of Ants chords by Haley Blais

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

Verse:
G
The incident with Karen's dog
Em
Still haunts me to this day
Cmaj7
I opened up the door to have a smoke
G               D
And he just ran away
G
My father, he is an actor
Em
And actors they love to cry
Cmaj7                                        G                   D
But I never saw him sob on stage like he did when princess Diana died
(Optional: G for a bit)

Chorus:
Cmaj7
And I know it may feel heavy
G
The weight that you wear on your back
Cmaj7                      G
You'll drop it when you're ready
B7                                   Em
And realize that you don't need that load of all the worry
Cmaj7
And all the things you thought that you can't
G                             D
And you'll find you relate to the existential life of ants
(Optional: G for a bit)

Verse:
G
I used to hang out in the garden
Em
'till I got allergies
Cmaj7                                            G                   D
Now I can't stick my nose in a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
G
It's been years since I've spoken to Karen
Em
I know that she blames me
Cmaj7                                                   G                               D
'cause I guess that the death the words promised on the carton of the cigarettes wasn't for me
(Optional: G for a bit)

Chorus:
Cmaj7
And I know it may feel heavy
G
The weight that you wear on your back
Cmaj7                      G
You'll drop it when you're ready
B7                                   Em
And realize that you don't need that load of all the worry
Cmaj7
And all the things you thought that you can't
G                             D
And you'll find you relate to the existential life of ants

Bridge:
Cmaj7
'cause we're much too small to think at all
G
About our wage or our status quo
Cmaj7            G
We just carry on one by one
B7                             Em
And bow to the queen before we go
G
Oooh (x4)

Chorus:
Cmaj7
And I know it may feel heavy
G
The weight that you wear on your back
Cmaj7                      G
You'll drop it when you're ready
B7                                   Em
And realize that you don't need that load of all the worry
Cmaj7
And all the things you thought that you can't
G                             D
