Intro:
Em Cadd9 Am B7
Verse 1:
Em
If the fish swam out of the ocean
Cadd9
And grew legs and they started walking
Am
And the apes climbed down from the trees
B7
And grew tall and they started talking
Em
And the stars fell out of the sky
Cadd9
And the tears rolled into the ocean
Am
And now I'm looking for a reason why
B7
You even set my world into motion
Em
'Cause if you're not really here
Cadd9
Then the stars don't even matter
Am
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
B7
That it's all just a bunch of matter
Em
'Cause if you're not really here
Cadd9
Then I don't want to be either
Am
I wanna be next to you
B7
Black and gold
black and gold
black and gold
Em Cadd9 Am B7
Verse 2:
Em
I look up into the night sky
Cadd9
And see a thousand eyes staring back
Am
And all around these golden beacons
B7
I see nothing but black
Em
I feel a weight of something beyond them
Cadd9
I don't see what I can feel
Am
If vision is the only validation
B7
Then most of my life isn't real
Em
'Cause if you're not really here
Cadd9
Then the stars don't even matter
Am
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
B7
That it's all just a bunch of matter
Em
'Cause if you're not really here
Cadd9
Then I don't want to be either
Am
I wanna be next to you
B7
Black and gold
