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

[Verse 2]
C#m E A
Keep swimming on, pushing for, picking up what you think will
D#m C#m
Make you better
G#m A F#m
Make them want you
F#m F#m
C#m E A
But what about all of the beautiful sights you’re missing
D#m C#m
When you’re looking
C#m A
What's ahead instead of what’s around
[Chorus]
A
Why are you trying
C#m
To fit in a box that nobody opens
C#m G#m
Just sittin’ on a shelf
G#m E
All black and white
E F#m
Your colors and your shapes
F#m C#m
Are golden
C#m B
You golden child
A
Why are you trying
A G#m F#m
To sit in a box that nobody opens
F#m F#m
Your colors and your shapes
F#m E
Are golden
E G#m C#m
You’re golden child

Overflow, overflow. Overflowing

C#m C#m
Overflow, overflow. Overflowing
