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

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

Overflow, overflow. Overflowing

Overflow, overflow. Overflowing
