[Intro]
E C G B

[Verse 1]

E          C             G     B
 Round the time that the cacti wakes up
        E         C         G      B
And the night owl opens its eyes
        E              C       G           B
I'll be waiting by the rocks on top of the hill
       E          C          G      B
With a glow stick map of the sky
                    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                 B
Inside of my iris and spaced my thighs, hips?”
E                           C                          G
Amazing scientists couldn't solve or make the math of it
              B                     E
He's like “Of course it's given you proof
            C                       G                             B
Never ask a human first, look up at the universe it's speaking to you”
E
“Oh Word?”
C                     G                         B
Ever since that day I don't pray, but study the pattern of bird flight
E                            C                 G
The number of female bees in a beehive divided by the males
        B        E         C
Equates like 1.61803 now see I'm
G                                  B
Laying out on the ground that we 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                 G            B
Or do you play it by the rules and 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                        B
I, I was born a misfit, could never understand why the world’s sadistic
  E                           C                G                        B
A kid, the dipshit who would take the piss of anybody in a fundamental clique religion
E                       C                           G                            B
Now I just let ‘em feel safe ‘cause they want to be held and blame the devil for their own mistakes
        E
Why bother?
            C                             G
I know the planets around the sun, we are not of this earth
        B                     E
All we think about is economy worth and our sums
           C               G                        B                       E
But summed up, half of the poverty and the slum are some real design, God’s son
                     C                      G                 B                    E
How we end up with a mass disease? So many loved ones passed deceased without one, how come?
               C                        G                                 B
The real sums inside of an insect, the side of a man’s face and body just try to inspect
     E         C         G                       B
The number’s 1.618, I'm tryna understand why the fuck we great
