the fish swam out of the ocean
Em
and grew legs and they started walking
Em
and the apes climbed down from the trees
Am
and grew tall and they started talking
D                      B       B7

and the stars fell out of the sky
Em
and my tears rolled into the ocean
Em
now i'm looking for a reason why
Am
you even set my world into motion
D               B          B7

'cause if you're not really here
Em
then the stars don't even matter
Em
now i'm filled to the top with fear
Am
but it's all just a bunch of matter
D                   B        B7
'cause if you're not really here
Em
then i don't want to be either
Em
i wanna be next to you
Am
black and gold
          D
black and gold
          B
black and gold
B7          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
