[Opening]
Just like the [Am]seed I don’t know where to [C]go
Through dirt and [Em]shadow, I grow
I’m reaching [Dm]light through the struggle
[Am]Just like the seed I’m chasing the [C]wonder
I unravel [Em]myself all in [Dm]slow motion
[Am]Mmmm [Am]mmmm [Am]mmmm [Am]mm

[chorus]
You cannot eat [Am]money, oh no you cannot eat [C]money, oh no.
When the last tree has [D]fallen and the rivers are poisoned.
You cannot eat [Am]money, oh no you cannot eat money, oh no.
You cannot eat [C]money, oh no when the last tree has [D]fallen.
And the rivers are poisoned you cannot eat [Am]money, oh no oh no.

[verse 2]
Suffocate [Am]me so my tears can [C]be rain
I will water the [Em]ground where I stand
So the flowers can [Dm]grow back again
‘Cause [Am]just like the seed, everything wants to [C]live
We are burning our [Em]fingers, but we learn and for[Dm]give ah
[Am]Mmmm [C]mmmm [Em]mmmm [Dm]mm

[chorus]
You cannot eat [Am]money, oh no you cannot eat [C]money, oh no.

And the rivers are poisoned you cannot eat [Am]money, oh no oh no.

[verse 3]
[F]Feed me sunlight, feed me air, in a place where nothing matters
[F]Feed me truth and [Am]feed me prayer, dancing around a shooting star
And every cell remembers what have taken us this far
[F]Feed me sunlight, feed me air, I see images of killer whales

[verse 4]
[F]Feed me truth and [Am]feed me prayers, sleeping in a desert trail
[F]Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts
[Am]Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts
[F]Ahhh [Am]ahhh [F]ahh [Am]ahhh

[chorus]
You cannot eat [Am]money, oh no you cannot eat [C]money, oh no.
When the last tree has [D]fallen and the rivers are poisoned.
You cannot eat [Am]money, oh no you cannot eat money, oh no.
You cannot eat [C]money, oh no when the last tree has [D]fallen.
And the rivers are poisoned you cannot eat [Am]money, oh no oh no.
