Simple As This by Jake Bugg
Simple As This
Capo first fret
Verse
G Cadd9 G
I've been in search of stones
G
Making up the pavement
Cadd9 G
of less traveled roads
G/F# Em
mining for treasure deep in my bones
Em D Dsus2 D Dsus2
That I never found
Verse
G Cadd9 G
Went looking for reve..rence
G
Tried to find it in a bottle
Cadd9 G
& came back again
G G/F# Em
High on a hashpipe of good intent
Em D Dsus2 D Dsus2
But it only brought me down
Chorus
Cadd9 D G G/F# Em
Tried institutions of the mind and soul
Cadd9 D
It only taught me what I
G G/F# Em
Should not know
Cadd9 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 Cadd9 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
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
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
