[Verse 1]
        Am
Just a big blue ball,
   Fmaj7
 floating in space
        C
It’s a beautiful world,
        G
 but a dangerous place
      Am
It's perfectly round,
        Fmaj7
it's perfectly clear
      C
There are no sides on
    G
 a perfect sphere

[Chorus]
  C
What if there were
             Fmaj7
 no sides at all
  C
What if there were no
           Fmaj7
sides at all

[Verse 2]
       Am
Don't make me hate,
        Fmaj7
don't make me choose
           C
Why should one side win
         G
and the other side lose
        Am
I don't understand why
      Fmaj7
take sides at all
      C
There are no sides on
       G
 this big blue ball

 We tell ourselves it’s

the stand we take
But there’s no sides

 except the ones

 We make
