[Verse]
C Cmaj7 G
Forever this universe expands but shrinks,
G Gmaj7 G
Forever this universe explodes while imploding,
D Emin Emin7 D
Maybe God is just to make sense of this unfathomable thing,
D Emin C Cmaj7
After all, aren’t we all just bits of carbon arranged in a shape,
G D
That lets us walk and talk and have all this faith,
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so why, why,
G Gmaj7
Why not enjoy this fleeting life,
D
Before it’s over,
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so say, say,
G Gmaj7 G
Say you wanna live this life away,
D
Before it’s over,
[Verse]
C Cmaj7
I’m not sure anyone created all of this,
G Gmaj7 G
None of this could be attributed to hers or theirs or his,
D
Maybe this is it,
Emin C
After all, aren’t we all just bits of carbon being angry on Twitter,
G D/A
Perhaps this isn’t the time for being bitter,
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so why, why,
G Gmaj7 G
Why try and make sense of this fleeting life,
D
Before it’s over,
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so say, say,
G Gmaj7 G
Say you think that it’s okay,
D
Before it’s over,
[Instrumental]
Cmaj7 C Gmaj7 G C G D C
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 C
It seems pretty likely that the likeliness of a heaven or hell,
G Gmaj7
Is not that likely at all, so I bid it farewell,
D7
Maybe this is all we have coz',
D Emin Cmaj7 G D
After all, aren't we all just bits of carbon with shoes,
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7
We’re just fucking carbon, so tell her,
G Gmaj7 G
You could be happy together,
D
Before it’s over,
[Verse]
C Cmaj7
Going with the flow of likelihoods as a theme,
G D/A
It's likely that a life of unexpectedness will make you happy,
D D7
Maybe I'm talking shit,
D Emin C Cmaj7
After all, aren't I just a self righteous bit of carbon with a mic,
G D
Using music to compensate for my lack of height,
C Cmaj7 G Gmaj7 C
We’re just fucking carbon,
[Verse]
I can't listen to the radio at night
I can't stop analysing lyrics even though I try
And mainstream pop is just so crap
When did the public's music taste get so bad
I knew I had to get up at six A.M
And I shoulda gone to bed at quarter to ten
But watching some fat fucking frog narrated by Attenborough
Tells sleep to piss off so I don't have to follow her
[Bridge]
And I drank a little too much coffee to be able to sleep
Instead just lying in bed in my own depressing heap
I'll seize the day tomorrow, well, depending on the weather
If tomorrow ever comes; getting to sleep seems to take forever
[Chorus]
Fuck the alarm!
I should've stayed in bed
It's meetings cancelled
And plans abandoned
And pointless dialogue
And countless sigh-a-lots
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
If I'd have just stayed in bed
[Verse]
I've never heard so much bullshit in the phrase
"You never know what will happen, seize the day"
Clearly you've never never been to high school
Constantly wasting time away like a fool
I knew I'd finally be home at 5 P.M
And to conserve energy, dinner at 7, 9, in bed
But there's a new film out on Netflix
How long before I pass out? Let's test it
[Bridge]
Coz nothing good ever came of today
Just watching my life fucking waste away
As missed rest and moments flash before me
And visions of alternate timelines come to taunt me
[Chorus]
Fuck the alarm!
I should've stayed in bed
It's meetings cancelled
And plans abandoned
And pointless dialogue
And countless sigh-a-lots
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
If I'd have just stayed in bed
[Verse]
I can't listen to the radio at night
I can't stop analysing lyrics even though I try
And is there any point in trying anyway
I'll have to come back eventually so I reckon I'll just stay
I knew I had to get up at six A.M
And I shoulda gone to bed at quarter to ten
But maybe just five more minutes would suffice
I'll stay here forever, that'd be nice
[Chorus]
So fuck the alarm!
Baby, I should've stayed in bed
It's meetings cancelled
And plans abandoned
And pointless dialogue
And countless sigh-a-lots
I wouldn't have missed much, missed much at all
If I'd have just stayed in bed
If I'd have just stayed in bed
If I'd have just stayed in bed
