Capo 4
     G
It starts 

              Am7   Em7
With our eyes well acquainted 

          G
With the darkness

             Am7       Em7           G
The mind was made to illuminate the heart

            Am7       Em7
And when every constellation

Cadd9          G
Suddenly appeared

              Am7           Em7    
Through telescopes and calculations

    Cadd9               D
The far was pulled so near

Am7        Em7               Am7
Even after everything we’ve seen

                       Em7                Am7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            Em7             Am7
In the architecture of the soul

               D                  G
The universe began with our eyes closed

G
We claim our land

Am7         Em7     G
We tame our seas
We carve our names
Am7             Em7       G
On the surface of history
Til our hands get tied
Am7             Em7
By the stubborn will
Of gravity
Am7        Em7               Am7
Even after everything we’ve seen

                       Em7                Am7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            Em7             Am7
In the architecture of the soul

               D                  G
The universe began with our eyes closed

G
In the rise and fall

Am7            Em7     G
Of a newborn’s chest
Like the ocean swells
Am7          Em7         G
We inhale, exhale and reset
Every living thing
Am7         Em7                   Am7
Is in this constant state of unrest

           Em7            Am7
Even after all our history

                       Em7                Am7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            Em7             Am7
In the architecture of the soul

               D                  
The universe began 

Am7        Em7               Am7
Even after everything we’ve seen

                       Em7                Am7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            Em7             Am7
In the architecture of the soul

               D                  G
The universe began with our eyes closed
