[Verse 1]
If the Emfish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
And the Cadd9apes climbed down from the trees
and grew A7sus4tall and they started tB7alkingD  
And the Emstars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
And now I'm Cadd9looking for a reason why
you even A7sus4set my world into B7motionD  
[Chorus]
'Cause if Emyou're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm Cadd9filled to the top with fear
that it's A7sus4all just a bunch of B7matterD

I wanna be Cadd9next to you

[Verse 1]

If the fish swam out of the ocean

and grew legs and they started walking

Cadd9

And the apes climbed down from the trees

A7sus4 B7 D

and grew tall and they started talking

And the stars fell out of the sky

and my tears rolled into the ocean

Cadd9

And now I'm looking for a reason why

A7sus4 B7 D

you even set my world into motion

[Chorus]

'Cause if you're not really here

then the stars don't even matter

Cadd9

Now I'm filled to the top with fear

A7sus4 B7 D

that it's all just a bunch of matter

'Cause if you're not really here

then I don't wanna be either

Cadd9

I wanna be next to you

I don't see what I can feel

Cadd9

If vision is the only validation

then most of my life isn't real

'Cause if you're not really here

then the stars don't even matter
