Intro: Em, C, Am, G

        Em
If the fish swam out of the ocean
And grew legs and they started walking
       C
And the apes climb down from the trees
          Am                     Bm
And grew tall and they started talking

         Em
And the stars fell out of the sky
And my tears rolled into the ocean
         C         
Now I'm looking for a reason why
          Am                 Bm
You even set my world into motion

         Em
Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
         C
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
           Am                   Bm
That it's all just a bunch of matter
            Em
Cause if you're not really here
I don't wanna be either
            C
I wanna be next to you
    Am                 Bm
Black and gold, black and gold..
       Em
Black and gold

Em
I look up into the night sky
And see a thousand eyes staring back
 C                          
And all around these golden beacons
Am                Bm
I see nothing but black

  Em
I feel a way of something beyond them
I don't see what I can feel
     C
If vision is the only  validation
       Am                  Bm
Then most of my life isn't real

         Em
Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
        C
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
           Am                   Bm
That it's all just a bunch of matter
            Em
Cause if you're not really here
I don't wanna be either
            C
I wanna be next to you
          Am               Bm
Black and gold, black and gold..
           Em
Black and gold

Em, C, Am, Bm
