Jens Lekman - How we met the long version

Nothing became s^Bbmomething, turned itself inside ^Cmout Subatomic p^Bbmarticles became atoms, became stars, became g^Cmalaxies The earth's c^Bbmrust became so^Cmlidified Bbm Cm ( Eb Edim ) Fm The planets became perfectly aligned, Jupiter blinked with its little red eye

^{Fm Bbm Cm} Oxygen re^Ebpla^Edimced me^Fmthane ^{Fm Bbm Cm} A party st^Ebart^Edimed in the o^Fmcean ^{Fm Bbm Cm} Trilobi^Ebtes^Edim and cr^Fmustaceans ^{Fm Bbm Cm} A C^Ebamb^Edimrian ex^Fmplosion

A c^Abonga line h^Dbeaded up on l^Bbmand ^{Eb Fm Gm} Out of the w^Abater ^Db and into the fr^Bbmying pan ^{Eb Fm Gm} A l^Abayer of ir^Dbidium paved the w^Bbmay ^{Eb Fm Gm} For furry m^Abammals ^Db with big, beautiful ^Bbmbrains ^{Cm Eb Fm}

The Congo R^Bbmiver di^Cmvided the chimpan^Bbmzees The peace^Cmful bonobos from the ^Bbmones like you and me As soo^Cmn we stood up, pi^Bbmcked an apple from a tree Someone po^Cminted a finger, said, "^BbmThat apple belongs to me."

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

^Ab And one day I aske^Dbd if I could borrow your b^Bbmass guitar ^{Eb Fm Gm} Not that I ^Abneeded one,^Db but I didn't know ^Bbmwhere to start ^{Eb Fm Gm Ab} One magic ni^Dbght in an e^Bbmmpty backyard ^{Eb Fm Gm} You grabbed my a^Abrm and kissed me ^Dbquick under a hea^Bbmven full of s^Cmtars ^{Eb Fm}

And t^Fmhat's the s^Bbmtory ^Cmof how we ^Ebmet ^Edim The l^Fmong v^Bbmersion ^{Cm Eb Edim} And ^Fmyou can c^Bbmall it f^Cmate or ^Ebcha^Edimnce ^{Fm Bbm} But ^Cmwe ma^Ebde i^Edimt hap^Fmpen ^{Fm Bbm Cm}We mad^Ebe i^Edimt happen ^{Fm Bbm Cm}We mad^Ebe i^Edimt happen
