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

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

Why are you trying
B A#m G#m
To sit in a box that nobody opens
G#m G#m
Your colors and your shapes
G#m F#
Are golden
F# A#m D#m
You’re golden child
