the fish swam out of the ocean
E
and grew legs and they started walking
E
and the apes climbed down from the trees
C
and grew tall and they started talking
Am Bm
and the stars fell out of the sky
E
and my tears rolled into the ocean
E
now i'm looking for a reason why
C
you even set my world into motion
Am Bm
cause if you're not really here
E
then the stars don't even matter
E
now i'm filled to the top with fear
C
but it's all just a bunch of matter
Am Bm
cause if you're not really here
E
then i don't want to be either
E
i wanna be next to you
C
black and gold
Am
black and gold
Bm
black and gold
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
