We’ve got minds behind our eyes
C       Dm  C       Dm
Looking out at ourselves
C            Dm      C        Dm
Things that grow out of the ground
C        Dm     C             Dm  Dm
Must one day believe they’re real

How can it be that they’re alive?

This clever twist, this pyramid scheme

Has got you in a double bind

F         G               Em             F
Out of nothing, making something like yourself
F         G              Em        F
Making patterns like a galaxy of cells
     F         G                    Em       F
If these interactions or these consequences don’t
F       G               Em             F
Approximate it quite to make some kind of soul
F            G             Em                F
We have a contract yeah we have each others backs
F            G             Em             F
We made a promise but one day we’ll fall apart

(No music)
We have a place, a fighting chance

While the chemicals keep up their dance
C          Dm          C     Dm
While our roots are digging deep
C          Dm        C         Dm
Trying to suck the whole place dry
