INTRO: [Em] [C] [Am] [Bm] [D] : [x4]

VERSE 1:
If the [Em] fish swam out of the ocean
And grew legs and they started walking
And the [C] apes climbed down from the trees
And grew [Am] tall and they started [Bm] talking [D]

VERSE 2:
And the [Em] stars fell out of the sky
And the tears rolled into the ocean
And now I'm [C] looking for a reason why
You even [Am] set my world into [Bm] motion [D]

CHORUS 1:
Cause if [Em] you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm [C] filled to the top with fear
But it's [Am] all just a bunch of [Bm] matter [D]

CHORUS 2:
Cause if [Em] you're not really here
Then I don't want to be either
I wanna be [C] next to you
Black and [Am] gold, black and [Bm] gold
[D] black and [Em] gold

BREAK: [Em] [C] [Am] [Bm] [D]

VERSE 3:
[Em] I look up into the night sky
And see a thousand eyes staring back
[C] And all around these golden beacons
[Am] I see nothing but [Bm] black [D]

VERSE 4:
[Em] I feel a way of something beyond them
I don't see what I can feel
[C] If vision is the only validation
Then [Am] most of my life isn't [Bm] real [D]
