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

Fm G# C#
Keep swimming on, pushing for, picking up what you think will
Gm Fm
Make you better

Make them want you

Fm G# C#
But what about all of the beautiful sights you’re missing
Gm Fm
When you’re looking
Fm C#
What's ahead instead of what’s around
[Chorus]

Why are you trying
Fm
To fit in a box that nobody opens

Just sittin’ on a shelf

All black and white

Your colors and your shapes

Are golden

You golden child

Why are you trying

To sit in a box that nobody opens

Your colors and your shapes

You’re golden child
