Chords

Intro: C - G - Cis - F - G - C VERSE 1:
C
Simple backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see,

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

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

        F
With words of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance.
PRE-CHORUS
    G
To drawn hate like a stone,
Cis walk the path overgrown.
         F
Never lie awake,

              G
And so for goodness sake.
VERSE 2:
C
Well down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking.

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

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

       F
And dress to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary.
PRE-CHORUS
    G
To drawn hate like a stone,
Cis walk the path overgrown.
         F
Never lie awake,

              G
And so for goodness sake.
CHORUS:
       Cis                     F
Now call me crazy but all the old ways,

    C                      G
Of living simple are simply fading.

      Cis               F                    C
And all we buy is time before we die,

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

     F
Be sure to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something.
PRE-CHORUS

To drawn hate like a stone,
Cis walk the path overgrown.

And so for goodness sake.

          G                 C
lay on down desensitized.
