Fermi Paradox

D            C            D     
  In 1950 in Los Alamos a 
                       C
scientist was talking with his 
friends,

D                                 
And the conversation had them all 
C                         D
fully engrossed about this universe 
that

C             G
almost has no end.

C
And as they were all about to return
 to their study

G
Enrico suddenly shouted, "Where is 
everybody?!"

D
And he sat down and did a few simple
 calculations

D
that indicated we should have been 
visited thousands of times

D
at least based on his estimations

G                    C
And that's the Fermi Paradox

G                    C
If they're out there why don't we 
hear 'em talk

D                        C
the galaxy just keeps on spinnin'

D                 G
with four hundred billion stars in 
it

F
and I just can't believe

C
that we could be unique

F                          C
when there's so much space in this 
galaxy

D         C         G
Oh I want Pandora's Box

D                                 
to be open but instead we're stuck
    C       G
 in Fermi's Paradox

D                           
There are dozens of ways this 
  C
paradox might be resolved

D                C                
And you probably can think of some 
 D
yourself

D                         C
Maybe advanced technology rarely 
evolves

D            C             G
Or maybe God sent them all to Hell

C
Or maybe that technology leads to 
its own destruction

G
Or maybe species lose interest in 
reproduction

D
Or maybe they're just afraid of what
 we'll do when we find out

D
so they're hiding until we grow a 
bit

D
And don't have the same tendency to 
frequently freak out!

G                   C
Oh that's the Fermi Paradox

G                    C
If they're out there why don't they 
talk

D                        C

to be open but instead we're stuck
    C       G
 in Fermi's Paradox

D                          C
Oh the question of whether there is 
more life out there

D         C             G
As far as I'm concerned is moot.

D                              C
But it appears that the aliens do 
not use Foursquare

D              C      G
and no I'm not trying to be cute

C
Because the way that we listen is 
defined by our ears

G
and the time that we've been 
listening, just a couple dozen years

D
We'll be lucky if we see them if we 
notice them at all

D
Our cosmic phone could be ringing 
off the hook right now

D
And we're just not answering the 
call.

G                   C
Oh that's the Fermi Paradox

G                    C

 in Fermi's Paradox

D                       C       
Oh yeah, we're stuck in Fermi's 
G
Paradox

D            C             
Oh no! we're stuck in Fermi's 
   G
Paradox

D                       C       
Oh yeah, we're stuck in Fermi's

Paradox
