A conga line headed up on land
            Ab     Cb                Bbm       Eb   Fm Gm
Out of the water      and into the frying pan
   Ab        Db               Bbm      Eb    Fm Gm
A layer of iridium paved the way
           Ab     Db                      Bbm         Cm    Eb Fm
For furry mammals     with big, beautiful brains

The peaceful bonobos from the ones like you and me

As soon we stood up, picked an apple from a tree

Someone pointed a finger, said, "That apple belongs to me."

VERSE 5:
N.C.
And people fought and loved and died
N.C.
And everywhere babies opened their eyes
N.C.
And had their hearts broken, laughed, and cried
N.C.
Watched the planets slowly collide

  And one day I asked if I could borrow your bass guitar
             Ab         Db                   Bbm                Eb    Fm Gm
  Not that I needed one,   but I didn't know where to start
Ab            Db         Bbm            Eb    Fm Gm
  One magic night in an empty backyard
                  Ab               Db               Bbm          Cm    Eb Fm
  You grabbed my arm and kissed me quick under a heaven full of stars

The long version
    Fm       Bbm     Cm     Eb Edim
And you can call it fate or chance
Fm    Bbm    Cm   Eb  Edim Fm
         But we made it happen
Fm    Bbm    Cm    Eb Edim
             We made it happen
Fm    Bbm    Cm    Eb Edim
             We made it happen
