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..
