Tom: Am
Em
If the fish swam out of the ocean
N.C.
Grew legs and they started walking
C
And the apes climbed down from the trees
Am G
Grew tall and they started talking
Em
And the stars fell out of the sky
N.C.
And my tears rolled into the ocean
C
And now I'm looking for a reason why
Am Bm
You even set my world into motion
[Chorus]
Em
Cause if your not really here
N.C.
Then the stars don't even matter
C
Now Im filled to the top with fear
Am Bm
That it's all just a bunch of matter
Em
Cause if your not really here
N.C.
Then i don't want to be either
C Am
I wanna be next to you
Am Bm Em
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
[Verse 2]
Em Em
mmm, i look up into the night sky
N.C.
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
N.C.
I don't see what i can feel
Am
If vision is my only validation
Bm
Then most of my life isn't real
[Chorus]
Em
Cause if your not really here
N.C.
Then the stars dont 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 your not really here
N.C.
Then I don't want to be either
C
I wanna be next to you
Am Bm Em C Am E
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gooollldddd
C Am Bm Em C Gm
mmm, woahhhhhh, ohhhh woahhhhhhh
[Chorus]
Em
Cause if your not really here
N.C.
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 your not really here
N.C.
Then i don't want to be either
C
I wanna be next to you
Am Bm Em
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
