[Verse 1]
GEven something as small as an apple
C DIt's simple and somehow complex
G CSweet and divine, the perfect design
G D GCan I speak to the architect?
[Verse 2]
GAnd there's a canyon that cuts through the desert
C DDid it get there because of a flood?
G CWas it devised? Or were you surprised
G D GWhen you saw how grand it was?
[Chorus]
Em CWas it thought out at all or just paint on a wall?
G DIs there anything that you regret?
G CI don't understand, are there blueprints or plans?
Em D GCan I speak to the architect?
[Verse 3]
GSom?times I look in the mirror
C DAnd wish I could make a r?quest
G CCould I pray it away? shapeable clay?
G D GOr is this as good as it gets?
[Verse 4]
GOne day, you're on top of the mountain
C DSo high that you'll never come down
G CThen the wind at your back carries ember and ash
G D GThat it burns your whole house to the ground
[Chorus]
Em CWas it thought out at all or just paint on a wall?
G DIs there anything that you regret?
G CI don't understand, are there blueprints or plans?
Em D GCan I speak to the architect?
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
GI thought that I was too broken
C DAnd maybe too hard to love
G G/B CI was in a weird place, then I saw the right face
G D GAnd the stars and the planets lined up
[Chorus]
Em CDoes it happen by chance? Is it all happenstance?
G DDo have any say in this mess?
G CIs it too late to make some more space?
Em D GCan I speak to the architect?
G CThis life that we make, is it random or fate?
Em D GCan I speak to the architect?
Em D GIs there an architect?
