     B
It starts
              Dbm7   Abm7
With our eyes well acquainted
          B
With the darkness
             Dbm7       Abm7           B
The mind was made to illuminate the heart
            Dbm7       Abm7
And when every constellation
Eadd9          B
Suddenly appeared
              Dbm7           Abm7
Through telescopes and calculations
    Eadd9               Gb
The far was pulled so near


Dbm7        Abm7               Dbm7
Even after everything we’ve seen
                       Abm7                Dbm7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            Abm7             Dbm7
In the architecture of the soul
               Gb                  B
The uniVerse began with our eyes closed


B
We claim our land
Dbm7         Abm7     B
We tame our seas

We carve our names
Dbm7             Abm7       B
On the surface of history

Til our hands get tied
Dbm7             Abm7
By the stubborn will

Of gravity


Dbm7        Abm7               Dbm7
Even after everything we’ve seen
                       Abm7                Dbm7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            Abm7             Dbm7
In the architecture of the soul
               Gb                  B
The uniVerse began with our eyes closed


B
In the rise and fall
Dbm7            Abm7     B
Of a newborn’s chest

Like the ocean swells
Dbm7          Abm7         B
We inhale, exhale and reset

Every living thing
Dbm7         Abm7                   Dbm7
Is in this constant state of unrest


           Abm7            Dbm7
Even after all our history
                       Abm7                Dbm7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            Abm7             Dbm7
In the architecture of the soul
               Gb
The uniVerse began


Dbm7        Abm7               Dbm7
Even after everything we’ve seen
                       Abm7                Dbm7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means
            Abm7             Dbm7
In the architecture of the soul
               Gb                  B
The uniVerse began with our eyes closed
