[Intro]
E C G B

[Verse 1]

E          C             G     
 Round the time that the cacti wakes
B
 up
        E         C         G      B
And the night owl opens its eyes
        E              C       G 
I'll be waiting by the rocks on 
          B
top of the hill
       E          C          G   
With a glow stick map of the sky
   B

                    E C G B E C G
Oh I've got a surprise
        B           E C G B E C riff
Oh I've got a surprise

[Verse 2]

E                   C
Four o-clock on the balcony with dad
G                      B
I was just a wide-eyed kiddy with 
questions asked
E                          C
“Who made skin and painted my 
eyelids?
              G                
Inside of my iris and spaced my 
 B
thighs, hips?”
E                           C    
Amazing scientists couldn't solve
                      G
 or make the math of it
              B                    
He's like “Of course it's given you
 E
 proof
            C                      
Never ask a human first, look up at
 G                             B
 the universe it's speaking to you”
E
“Oh Word?”
C                     G          
Ever since that day I don't pray,
               B
 but study the pattern of bird 
flight
E                            
The number of female bees in a 
C                 G
beehive divided by the males
        B        E         C
Equates like 1.61803 now see I'm
G                              
Laying out on the ground that we 
    B
have been designed
E                              C
But we won't be defined and I will 
not decline
         riff
When all of you look at money you 
never could see time

[Chorus]

     C
This ​is​ ​just​ ​a​ ​letter​ ​for​ 
​God
        Am
And​ ​all​ ​time​ ​space​ ​beings​ 
​that​ ​are​ ​littered​ ​abroad
  Em
I​ ​don't​ ​wanna​ ​see​ ​no​ 
​tunnel​ ​of​ ​light
     B
More​ ​so​ ​just​ ​a run-up and​ ​a​
 ​summary​ ​why
    C
No​ ​questions​ ​asked​ ​in​ ​the​ 
​class​ ​or​ ​church
      Am
Many​ ​left​ ​unanswered,​ ​pass​ 
​the​ ​word
        Em
I​ ​wanna​ ​know​ ​why​ ​earth​ 
​fills​ ​greed​ ​and​ ​hate
       B
Thrust​ ​me​ ​out​ ​there​ ​with​ 
​the​ ​solar​ ​waste​ ​and​ ​let​ 
​go

[Verse 3]

E        C           G          B
  When the world burns down into ash
       E            C         G    B
Do you sit back and roll the dice
          E              C        
Or do you play it by the rules and
         G            B
 give a fuck about us
              E         C         G
And kick your feet back onto the sky
   B                E C G B E C G
Oh please tell me why
    B            E C G B E C
Please tell me why

[Verse 4]

E        C                    G 
I, I was born a misfit, could 
                       B
never understand why the world’s 
sadistic
  E                           C   
A kid, the dipshit who would take 
             G                     
the piss of anybody in a 
   B
fundamental clique religion
E                       C        
Now I just let ‘em feel safe 
                   G           
‘cause they want to be held and 
                 B
blame the devil for their own 
mistakes
        E
Why bother?
            C                      
I know the planets around the sun, 
       G
we are not of this earth
        B                     E
All we think about is economy worth 
and our sums
           C               G      
But summed up, half of the poverty
                  B                
 and the slum are some real design,
       E
 God’s son
                     C             
How we end up with a mass disease? 
         G                 B      
So many loved ones passed deceased
              E
 without one, how come?
               C                   
The real sums inside of an insect, 
     G                           
the side of a man’s face and body 
      B
just try to inspect
     E         C         G 
The number’s 1.618, I'm tryna 
                      B
understand why the fuck we great
