{Verse 1}
Bm Bm D G
You’re a boat in the ocean of everything that you reach for
Bm
It’s a sea of
F#m G
Your perceptions
Em
Bm D G
And it’s filling up, giving a human a reason to give in
C#m Bm
Overflowing
F#m G
With intention
[Chorus]
Em G
Why are you trying
G A Bm
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Bm F#m
Just sittin’ on a shelf
F#m D
All black and white
D Em
Your colors and your shapes
Em Bm
Are golden
Bm A
You’re golden child
G G
Why are you crying
G F#m Em
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Em Em
Your colors and your shapes
D
Are golden
F#m
You golden child
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Bm D G
Keep swimming on, pushing for, picking up what you think will
C#m Bm
Make you better
F#m G Em
Make them want you
Em Em
Bm D G
But what about all of the beautiful sights you’re missing
C#m Bm
When you’re looking
Bm G
What's ahead instead of what’s around
[Chorus]
G
Why are you trying
Bm
To fit in a box that nobody opens

Just sittin’ on a shelf
F#m D
All black and white
D Em
Your colors and your shapes
Em Bm
Are golden
Bm A
You golden child
G
Why are you trying
G F#m Em
To sit in a box that nobody opens
Em Em
Your colors and your shapes
Em D
Are golden

You’re golden child

Overflow, overflow. Overflowing
