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

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

Overflow, overflow. Overflowing
