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

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

Bm Bm
Em Em
Overflow, overflow. Overflowing
