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