[ Am ]        [ G ]
Protons and neutrons,
{Am ]                                [ G ]
The electron cloud scattered around,
[ Am ]             [ G ]
Atoms packed and lattices stacked
      [ F ]          [ G ]                [ Am ]
Among billions and trillions of their kind,
    [ F ]              [ G ]       [ Am ]
And around trillions more they wind,
       [ G ]                        [ Am ] 
And we see that they are formed into this thing,
    [ G ]                           [ Am ]
That I and those before me call a guitar string.

   [ F ]               [ G ]                [ Am ]          [ C ]
We think we see this world but we see a fraction of a fraction,
    [ F ]          [ G ]             [ Am ]       [ C ] 
And even what we can see is just photonic reactions,
    [ F ]                [ G ]              [ Am ]                [ C ] 
And we think that it's gorgeous and that no thing could compare,
         [ G ]                           [ Am ]
But how could we ever know when there's so much more out there.

[ Am ]        [ G ]
Protons and neutrons,
{Am ]                                [ G ]
The electron cloud scattered around,
[ Am ]               [ G ]
Carbon and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen,
        [ F ]        [ G ]       [ Am ]
Forming two of the simplest proteins,
             [ F ]          [ G ]          [ Am ]
And stacked together into beta-pleated sheets,
    [ G ]                 [ Am ] 
And out from my finger grows this thing,
        [ G ]                    [ Am ] 
That I smack up and down this guitar string.

   [ F ]               [ G ]                [ Am ]          [ C ]
We think we see this world but we see a fraction of a fraction,
    [ F ]          [ G ]             [ Am ]       [ C ] 
And even what we can see is just photonic reactions,
    [ F ]                [ G ]              [ Am ]                [ C ] 
And we think that it's gorgeous and that no thing could compare,
         [ G ]                           [ Am ]
But how could we ever know when there's so much more out there.
