Em  Cadd9  Am   Bm  D

        
[Verse 1]      
        Em
If the fish swam out of the ocean

And grew legs and they started walking
       Cadd9
And the apes climb down from the trees
          Am                     Bm    D
And grew tall and they started talking

         Em
And the stars fell out of the sky

And my tears rolled into the ocean
         Cadd9           
Now I'm looking for a reason why
          Am                  Bm    D
You even set my world into motion

        
[Chorus]      
         Em
Cause if you're not really here

Then the stars don't even matter
        Cadd9
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
           Am                    Bm    D
That it's all just a bunch of matter
            Em
Cause if you're not really here

I don't wanna be either
          Cadd9
I wanna be next to you
    Am                      Bm    D
Black and gold, black and gold..
       Em
Black and gold

        
[Verse 2]     
Em
I look up into the night sky

And see a thousand eyes staring back
        Cadd9                          Am
And all around these golden beacons
                   Bm    D
I see nothing but black

          Em
I feel a way of something beyond them

I don't see what I can feel
     Cadd9
If vision is the only  validation
       Am                   Bm    D
Then most of my life isn't rea

        
[Chorus]       
         Em
Cause if you're not really here

Then the stars don't even matter
        Cadd9
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
           Am                    Bm    D
That it's all just a bunch of matter
            Em
Cause if you're not really here

I don't wanna be either
          Cadd9
I wanna be next to you
    Am                      Bm    D
Black and gold, black and gold..
       Em
Black and gold

           
[Instrumental]       
Em  Cadd9  Am   Bm  D

        
[Chorus]     
         Em
Cause if you're not really here

Then the stars don't even matter
        Cadd9
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
           Am                    Bm    D
That it's all just a bunch of matter
            Em
Cause if you're not really here

I don't wanna be either
          Cadd9
I wanna be next to you
    Am                      Bm    D
Black and gold, black and gold..
       Em
Black and gold
