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

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