Chords are Am C F C

e|---8--3--1--0--1--0-------------0---

                   Am            C            F                 G
It's as simple as this, here it is, couldn't spell it out more clearly
               Am              C            F                   G
There's only today and the freeway and the pain that keeps you near me
         Am        C              F                C               F                          
The animation of sinking souls, strung along the telephone poles

It's easy to miss

[intro]
                            Am            C         
Well, you could circle the earth, the universe, 
           F               G
but we're shadowed in the same light
               Am           C              F           G
It's coming undone, so you run, well I'm circling the drain pipe
       Am         C         F              C
An invitation to just forget, but I'm not finished yet
 F
I got big plans

[Chorus]
C       G    Em         F
Cut off the tape and undo the mat
C       G        Em          F
Washed out and faded like a photograph
        C    G        Em              F
And I spell out your name across the overpass
                   Am
It's as simple as that

[intro]

[intro]

It's as simple as this, what'd I miss, I will carry to the last day
Deliver my spark through the dark to the angles in the ashtray
Saturation of hopeless needs, but as the asphalt bleeds
Curtains rise and

[chorus]
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
And I'm deep in the background of some photograph
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass


[bridge]
                   A      F
It's as simple as that, ohh
C              Dm           F    
Simple's hard enough now anyway  
C              Dm           F    
Simple's hard enough now anyway 

[chorus]
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph    x2
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass


[bridge]
It's as simple as that

Simple's hard enough now anyway x4
