     B
It starts 

              C#m7   G#m7
With our eyes well acquainted 

          B
With the darkness

             C#m7       G#m7           B
The mind was made to illuminate the heart

            C#m7       G#m7
And when every constellation

Eadd9          B
Suddenly appeared

              C#m7           G#m7    
Through telescopes and calculations

    Eadd9               B
The far was pulled so near

C#m7        G#m7               C#m7
Even after everything we’ve seen

                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul

               F#                  B
The universe began with our eyes closed

B
We claim our land

C#m7         G#m7     B
We tame our seas
We carve our names
C#m7             G#m7       B
On the surface of history
Til our hands get tied
C#m7             G#m7
By the stubborn will
Of gravity
C#m7        G#m7               C#m7
Even after everything we’ve seen

                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul

               F#                  B
The universe began with our eyes closed

B
In the rise and fall

C#m7            G#m7     B
Of a newborn’s chest
Like the ocean swells
C#m7          G#m7         B
We inhale, exhale and reset
Every living thing
C#m7         G#m7                   C#m7
Is in this constant state of unrest

           G#m7            C#m7
Even after all our history

                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul

               F#                  
The universe began 

C#m7        G#m7               C#m7
Even after everything we’ve seen

                       G#m7                C#m7
We’ve barely caught a glimpse of what it means

            G#m7             C#m7
In the architecture of the soul

               F#                  B
The universe began with our eyes closed
