Capo first fret

Verse
G            c9     G
I've been in search of stones
G
Making up the pavement
        c9    G
of less traveled roads
   G/F#    Em
mining for treasure deep in my bones
Em           D    D9 D  D9    
That I never found


Verse
G                c9 G
Went looking for reve..rence
G
Tried to find it in a bottle
       c9 G
& came back  again
G    G/F# Em
High on a hashpipe of good intent
Em                     D   D9 D D9
But it only brought me down


Chorus
c9 D                   G    G/F# Em
Tried institutions of the mind and  soul
c9   D
It only taught me what I
G      G/F# Em
Should not  know
c9  D
Oh the answer well
G         G/F# Em    
who would have guessed
Em       C            D
Could be something as simple as
G    C            D         G   c9 G
this,something as simple as this


Verse
Traveled to each oceans end
Saw all 7 wonders,
trying to make some sense
Memorized the mantra confucius said
But it only let me down


Chorus
Tried absolution of the mind and soul
It only led me where I should not go
Oh and the answer well
how could I miss
Something as simple as this?
Something as simple as this?


Bridge
c9 D    G       c9 D  G
I     been falling crashing breaking
c9 D       G
And   all the while you were
c9 D    G
stood here waiting
       Em
For me girl


Chorus
Tried liberation of my own free will
But it left me looking to get higher still
Oh and the answer well
who could have guessed
could be something as simple as this?
God knows how I could have missed
Something as simple as this
