Simple As This

[G]            [cadd9]     [G]
I've been in search of stones
[G]Making up the pavement
        [cadd9]    [G]
of less traveled roads
min[G/F#]ing for [Em]treasure deep in my bones
[Em]That I never [D]found[Dsus2]      [D]         [Dsus2]

[G]                [cadd9] [G]
Went looking for reve..rence
[G]Tried to find it in a bottle
       [cadd9] [G]
& came back  again
[G]High [G/F#]on a [Em]hashpipe of good intent
[Em]But it only brought me [D]down[Dsus2]      [D]        [Dsus2]

[cadd9] [D]                   [G]    [G/F#] [Em]
Tried institutions of the mind and  soul
[cadd9]   [D]
It only taught me what I
[G]Should [G/F#]not  [Em]know
[cadd9]  [D]
Oh the answer well
[G]who would [G/F#]have [Em]guessed
[Em]Could be [C]something as [D]simple as
[G]    [C]            [D]         [G]   [cadd9] [G]
this,something as simple as this

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

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?

[cadd9] [D]    [G]       [cadd9] [D]  [G]
I     been falling crashing breaking
[cadd9] [D]       [G]
And   all the while you were
[cadd9] [D]    [G]
stood here waiting
For me [Em]girl

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
