Chorus 

I don't know the exact chords she uses for the Chorus but C, F and G bar chords in that order sound good 

        C           F           G 
Well, I look at the stars and I know you're under them  
I look at the books and things people are reading  
I know that you've written them, too  
You've got so many little things to do  
But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten      x2 
The promise you made to me I think that's rotten  
I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore  
Coming through that can show me around  
'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd  
Looking for something from you  
Just one fucking measly clue  
Any shitty little tip-off would do  
But I'm just an ant in Alaska to you  

G           C       F         C        F        C        F       C 
I'm just an ant in alaska, an ant in alaska, an ant in alaska to you 

F G F C
