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

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

Overflow, overflow. Overflowing

G#m G#m
Overflow, overflow. Overflowing
