The Architect Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Eve[C]n s[G]ome[D]thing[G]
as small as an apple
It's [C]simple and somehow com[D]plex
[G]Sweet and divine, the [C]perfect design
Can [G]I speak to the [D]archi[G]tect?

[Verse 2]
There's [G]a canyon that cuts
through the desert
Did it [C]get there because [D]of a flood?
Was [G]it devised? Or [C]were you surprised
When [G]you saw how [D]grant it [G]was?

[Verse 3]
Was it [Em]thought out at all or just
[C]paint on a wall?
Is there [G]anything that you [D]re gret?
I [G]don't understand,
are there [C]blueprints or plans?
Can I speak [Em]to the a[D]rchitect?
[G]

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And [C]wish I could make a re[D]quest
Could I [G]pray it away? Am
[C]I shapeable clay?
[G]Or is this as [D]good as it [G]gets?

[Verse 5]
One [G]day, you're on top of the mountain
So [C]high that you'll never come [D]down
Then the [G]wind at your back
carries [C]ember and ash
That it [G]burns your whole house to the ground

[Verse 6]
Is it [Em]thought out at all or just [C]paint on a wall?
Is there [G]anything that you re[D]gret?
I [G]don't understand,
are there [C]blueprints or plans?
Can [Em]I speak to [D]the architect?

[Verse 7]
[G]I thought that I was too broken
And [C]maybe too hard to [Dsus4]love
I was [G]in a weird place,
then [C]I saw the right face
[G]And the stars and the planets lined up

[Verse 8]
Does it [Em]happen by chance?
Is [C]it all happenstance?
Do we [G]have any say in this [D]mess?
[G]Is too late to [C]make some more space?
Can [Em]I speak to the [D]architect?
[G]This life that we make,
is it [C]random or fate?
Can [Em]I speak to the [D]archi[G]tect?
[Em]Is there an ar[D]chitect?
