C     D         G  D   Em
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
        C           D      G      D     Em
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
   C         D
The Earth began to cool,
   G       D     Em
The autotrophs began to drool,
     C         D
Neanderthals developed tools,
       G       D     Em
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
C         D     G      D   Em
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
   C       D        G
That all started with the big bang!

       C     D         G  D   Em
"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
      C       D         G        D     Em
As every galaxy was formed in less time
than it takes to sing this song.
 C         D         G     D   Em
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
   C          D
The bipeds stood up straight,
   G         D     Em
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
         C            D
They tried to leap but they were late
         G       D       Em
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
   C       D
The oceans and pangea
     G         D Em
See ya, wouldnʼt wanna be ya
     C         D     G
Set in motion by the same big bang!
     C           D    A
It all started with the big BANG!

D     G         Em         A
Itʼs expanding ever outward but one day
D     G            Em        A
It will cause the stars to Go the other way,
A       D                Em          A
Collapsing ever inward, we wonʼt be here, it wont be hurt
A        D           Em            A       C
Our best and brightest figure that itʼll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
C            D              G       D      Em
Debating out while here theyʼre catching deer
(weʼre catching viruses)
C       D       G     D   Em
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
  C       D     G
It all started with the big bang!
 C     D       G     D   Em
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
  C       D     G
It all started with the big bang!

It all started with the big BANG!
