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
