Even something as small as an apple

It's simple and somehow complex
B                     C
Sweet and divine, the perfect design

Can I speak to the architect?

              B
And there's a canyon that cuts through the desert
       C                      B
Did it get there because of a flood?
B                  C
Was it devised? Or were you surprised

When you saw how grand it was?

Som times I look in the mirror
    C                     B
And wish I could make a r quest

Could I pray it away?  shapeable clay?

    B
One day, you're on top of the mountain

So high that you'll never come down
         B                         C
Then the wind at your back carries ember and ash
        B                B            B
That it burns your whole house to the ground

I thought that I was too broken
    C                 B
And maybe too hard to love

I was in a weird place, then I saw the right face
         B            B             B
And the stars and the planets lined up

♫ Chorus: 
        Cm                      C
Does it happen by chance? Is it all happenstance?
   B                    B
