|<pre> G(g) G(f#) G(e) G(b)
Just remember when you're standing on a planet that's evolving
D7(d) D7(e) D(f#)
Revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
D(f#) D D D(d)
That's orbiting at nineteen miles per second, so it's reckoned
D7(d) D7(e) G(b)
A sun that is the source of all our power

G(g) (f#) G(e) (d)
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
E7(e) Am/C(c high)
Are moving at a million miles a day
C(c high) G(b)
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour
D(b) D7 G(g)
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way
</pre>
|<pre>Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's one hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And ours is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And hope that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space
'Cause we're all stuck down here on Earth
