D (xx0232@1)                               C (x32010@1)                       D (xx0232@1)                   
And the conversation had them all fully engrossed about this universe that

C (x32010@1)           Galmost (320003@1)has no end.

CAnd (x32010@1)as they were all about to return to their study

GEnrico (320003@1)suddenly shouted, "Where is everybody?!"

DAnd (xx0232@1)he sat down and did a few simple calculations

Dthat (xx0232@1)indicated we should have been visited thousands of times

Dat (xx0232@1)least based on his estimations

G (320003@1)                  CAnd (x32010@1)that's the Fermi Paradox

G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)If they're out there why don't we hear 'em talk

D (xx0232@1)                      Cthe (x32010@1)galaxy just keeps on spinnin'

D (xx0232@1)               Gwith (320003@1)four hundred billion stars in it

Fand (133211@1)I just can't believe

Cthat (x32010@1)we could be unique

F (133211@1)                        Cwhen (x32010@1)there's so much space in this galaxy

D (xx0232@1)       C (x32010@1)       GOh (320003@1)I want Pandora's Box

D (xx0232@1)                                   C (x32010@1)     Gto (320003@1)be open but instead we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox

D (xx0232@1)                           CThere (x32010@1)are dozens of ways this paradox might be resolved

D (xx0232@1)              C (x32010@1)               DAnd (xx0232@1)you probably can think of some yourself

D (xx0232@1)                       CMaybe (x32010@1)advanced technology rarely evolves

D (xx0232@1)          C (x32010@1)           GOr (320003@1)maybe God sent them all to Hell

COr (x32010@1)maybe that technology leads to its own destruction

GOr (320003@1)maybe species lose interest in reproduction

DOr (xx0232@1)maybe they're just afraid of what we'll do when we find out

Dso (xx0232@1)they're hiding until we grow a bit

DAnd (xx0232@1)don't have the same tendency to frequently freak out!

G (320003@1)                 COh (x32010@1)that's the Fermi Paradox

G (320003@1)                  CIf (x32010@1)they're out there why don't they talk

D (xx0232@1)                      Cthe (x32010@1)galaxy just keeps on spinnin'

D (xx0232@1)                        COh (x32010@1)the question of whether there is more life out there

D (xx0232@1)       C (x32010@1)           GAs (320003@1)far as I'm concerned is moot.

D (xx0232@1)                            CBut (x32010@1)it appears that the aliens do not use Foursquare

D (xx0232@1)            C (x32010@1)    Gand (320003@1)no I'm not trying to be cute

CBecause (x32010@1)the way that we listen is defined by our ears

Gand (320003@1)the time that we've been listening, just a couple dozen years

DWe'll (xx0232@1)be lucky if we see them if we notice them at all

DOur (xx0232@1)cosmic phone could be ringing off the hook right now

DAnd (xx0232@1)we're just not answering the call.
