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

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