Intro: E- (022100@1)H - Cis - A- (x02220@1)H - E (022100@1)VERSE 1: ESimple (022100@1)backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see, ATake (x02220@1)some rest as if not wicked. And walk around enjoying silence. EA (022100@1)world away, elders gather. Speaking their tongue and hardly falter. AWith (x02220@1)words of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance. PRE-CHORUS H To drawn hate like a stone, Cis walk the path overgrown. ANever (x02220@1)lie awake, H And so for goodness sake. VERSE 2: EWell (022100@1)down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking. ARattling (x02220@1)beasts and heavy movements, Mark them now son before we lose them. EBear (022100@1)your arms ever so wisely, Or burn them all if you have no need. AAnd (x02220@1)dress to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary. PRE-CHORUS H To drawn hate like a stone, Cis walk the path overgrown. ANever (x02220@1)lie awake, H And so for goodness sake. CHORUS: Cis ANow (x02220@1)call me crazy but all the old ways, E (022100@1) H Of living simple are simply fading. Cis A (x02220@1) EAnd (022100@1)all we buy is time before we die, H Elay (022100@1)on down desensitized. VERSE 3: E (let ring) A wise old friend recently told me: "An idle mind is the devils playpen". A (let ring) Mind the gaps and watch them closely. Spread the love but choose your friends wisely. ELove (022100@1)yourself to love your family, And find the difference between wants and needs. ABe (x02220@1)sure to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something. PRE-CHORUS H To drawn hate like a stone, Cis walk the path overgrown. ANever (x02220@1)lie awake, H And so for goodness sake. CHORUS: Cis ANow (x02220@1)call me crazy but all the old ways, E (022100@1) H Of living simple are simply fading. Cis A (x02220@1) EAnd (022100@1)all we buy is time before we die, H H lay on down Cis A (x02220@1) EAnd (022100@1)all we buy is time before we die, H Elay (022100@1)on down desensitized.
