the fish swam out of the ocean Em and grew legs and they started walking Em and the apes climbed down from the trees Am and grew tall and they started talking D B B7 and the stars fell out of the sky Em and my tears rolled into the ocean Em now i'm looking for a reason why Am you even set my world into motion D B B7 'cause if you're not really here Em then the stars don't even matter Em now i'm filled to the top with fear Am but it's all just a bunch of matter D B B7 'cause if you're not really here Em then i don't want to be either Em i wanna be next to you Am black and gold D black and gold B black and gold B7 E i looked up into the grey sky and see a thousand eyes staring back and all around these golden beacons i see nothing but black i feel a way of something beyond them i don't see what i can feel if vision is the only validation then most of my life isn't real 'cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter now i'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter 'cause if you're not really here then i don't want to be either i wanna be next to you black and gold black and gold black and gold
