The Universe Is Laughing Chords & Lyrics by The Guggenheim Grotto
The Universe Is Laughing
guitar chords lyrics
For the soprano ukulele, standard tuning. A simple accompaniment for a beautiful
song. This is the album version, I think live they generally play it a couple half steps higher.

C F Bb
October throws herself before my feet
C F
And the sky goes powder blue
Bb F C
Holding her breath for me
C F Bb
I never thought myself a city shoe
C F
But it's made of gold today
Bb F C
And it breaks my heart in two
Dm A
Cause I want to hold onto it
Bb F
But there's nothing to hold
Dm A
And the universe is laughing
Bb C
Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
C F Bb
We were listening to this city hum and hush
C F
Lying perfect in the dark
Bb F C
I felt you tremble neath my touch
C F Bb
Was it everything we love we can't explain
C F
Like if the world should disappear
Bb F C
Only music will remain
Dm A
Cause I want to hold onto it
Bb F
But there's nothing to hold
Dm A
And the universe is laughing
Bb C
Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
C F Bb
C F Bb F C
[2x]
Dm (hold) A
And I want to hold onto it
Bb F
But there's nothing to hold
Dm (hold) A
And the universe is laughing
Bb C
Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
Dm A
And the galaxies, the galaxies are howling
Bb F
The silent moon, a kick of pink and gold
Dm A
And the whole damn universe is laughing
Bb C C F
And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfo-o-old
