The History Of Everything
The Big Bang Theory (2007)

    Cadd9    D              G   D/F♯  Em
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state
Then nearly 14 billion years ago expansion started - wait

      C              D
  The Earth began to cool                                  (embarque)
          G        f♯     Em
  The autotrophs began to drool
  Neanderthals developed tools
  We built a wall (we built the pyramids)

  Math, science, history
  Unraveling the mysteries
       C           D            ()    G
  That all started with the Big Bang (Bang)

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song
A fraction of a second and the elements were made

  The bipeds stood up straight
  The dinosaurs all met their fate
  They tried to leap but they were late
  And they all died (they froze their asses off)

  The oceans and Pangea
  See ya wouldn't wanna be ya
  Set in motion by the same Big Bang                       w/o ()

  It all started with the Big

 Am    D      G       C    G       C   G   ()
(Bang) It's expanding ever outward but one day
 Am    D       G         C        G      C G   Am
       It will cause the stars to go the other way

           D            Am                D/F♯
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be hurt
Am           Bm                    C             D           ()
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang

  Australopithecus
  Would really have been sick of us
  Debating out while here
  They're catching deer (we're catching viruses)

  Religion or astronomy
  Encarta, Deuteronomy
  It all started with the Big Bang

  Music and mythology
  Einstein and astrology
  It all started with the Big Bang

  It all started with the Big - (Bang)
