If the [Em]fish swam out of the ocean
and the [Cadd9]apes climbed down from the
and grew [A7sus4]tall and they started [B7]talking
and the [Em]stars fell out of the sky
now I'm [A7sus4]looking for a reason why
you even [Cadd9]set my world into [B7]motion
'cause if [Em]you're not really here
now I'm [Cadd9]filled to the top with fear
but it's [A7sus4]all just a bunch of [B7]matter
'cause if [Em]you're not really here
I wanna be [Cadd9]next to you
black and [A7sus4]gold
black and [B7]gold
black and [Em]gold
[Em] [Cadd9] [A7sus4] [B7]
I looked [Em]up into the night sky
and all [Cadd9]around these golden beacons
[A7sus4]I see nothing but [B7]black
I feel a [Em]way of something beyond them
if [Cadd9]vision is the only validation
then [A7sus4]most of my life isn't [B7]real
'cause if [Em]you're not really here
now I'm [Cadd9]filled to the top with fear
but it's [A7sus4]all just a bunch of [B7]matter
'cause if [Em]you're not really here
I wanna be [Cadd9]next to you
black and [A7sus4]gold
black and [B7]gold
black and [Em]gold
