Chords

Intro: E - B - C# - A - B - E VERSE 1:

E
Simple backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see,

A
Take some rest as if not wicked. And walk around enjoying silence.

   E
A world away, elders gather. Speaking their tongue and hardly falter.

        A
With words of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance.

PRE-CHORUS

    B
To drawn hate like a stone,

 C#
walk the path overgrown.

         A
Never lie awake,

              B
And so for goodness sake.

VERSE 2:

E
Well down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking.

A
Rattling beasts and heavy movements, Mark them now son before we lose them.

E
Bear your arms ever so wisely, Or burn them all if you have no need.

       A
And dress to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary.

PRE-CHORUS

    B
To drawn hate like a stone,

 C#
walk the path overgrown.

         A
Never lie awake,

              B
And so for goodness sake.

CHORUS:

       C#                     A
Now call me crazy but all the old ways,

    E                      B
Of living simple are simply fading.

      C#               A                    E
And all we buy is time before we die,

          B                 E
lay 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.

E
Love yourself to love your family, And find the difference between wants and needs.

     A
Be sure to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something.

PRE-CHORUS

    B
To drawn hate like a stone,

 C#
walk the path overgrown.

         A
Never lie awake,

              B
And so for goodness sake.

CHORUS:

       C#                     A
Now call me crazy but all the old ways,

    E                      B
Of living simple are simply fading.

      C#               A                    E
And all we buy is time before we die,

          B                 B
lay on down 

      C#               A                    E
And all we buy is time before we die,

          B                 E
lay on down desensitized.
