Chords

As recorded by Kacey Musgraves (From the 2024 Album DEEPER WELL) Kacey plays this song live tuned down 1/2 step capoed at 3rd fret, so the chords stay the same. [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Even something as small as an apple

     C                     D
It's simple and somehow complex

G                     C
Sweet and divine, the perfect design

      G            D    G
Can I speak to the architect?

G
And there's a canyon that cuts through the desert

       C                      D
Did it get there because of a flood?

G                  C
Was it devised? Or were you surprised

     G           D        G
When you saw how grand it was?
[Chorus]
       Em                         C
Was it thought out at all or just paint on a wall?

         G                   D
Is there anything that you regret?

  G                           C
I don't understand, are there blueprints or plans?

      Em           D    G
Can I speak to the architect?
[Verse 2]
G
Somеtimes I look in the mirror

    C                     D
And wish I could make a rеquest

        G                  C
Could I pray it away? Am I shapeable clay?

G               D         G
Or is this as good as it gets?

G
One day, you're on top of the mountain

   C                           D
So high that you'll never come down

         G                         C
Then the wind at your back carries ember and ash

        G                D            G
That it burns your whole house to the ground
[Chorus]
      Em                         C
Is it thought out at all or just paint on a wall?

         G                   D
Is there anything that you regret?

  G                           C
I don't understand, are there blueprints or plans?

      Em           D    G
Can I speak to the architect?
[Interlude] C G Bm7 C G Bm C G [Verse 3]
G
I thought that I was too broken

    C                 D
And maybe too hard to love

      G                        C
I was in a weird place, then I saw the right face

        G             D             G
And the stars and the planets lined up
[Out-Chorus]
        Em                      C
Does it happen by chance? Is it all happenstance?

      G                    D
Do we have any say in this mess?

G                 C
Is it too late to make some more space?

      Em           D    G
Can I speak to the architect?

                              C
This life that we make, is it random or fate?

      Em           D    G
Can I speak to the architect?

Em          D    G
Is there an architect?
