Hey Rosetta! – The Simplest Thing (Ukulele)

    C                      G 
the rain starts off and it wakes you up

E                         Am                    C F           
you can't sleep with that racket on the roof

    C                      G
you get up slow but you can't get going

    E                     Am                  C F
it seems this morning the lowness has won

           C              G                 E
did you stop to see? mediocrity and your self pity,

           Am                                    C           F
they were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny

        C           G
did you notice that happiness

E                     Am                                     C       F
happens less the more often you stop to find where it's been hiding

               C                   G
you say, "it's not my fault that i get so low

            E                               Am
there's a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down,

                               C   F
it's pulling me down, i swear it"

Am                   G       C              F
so come on by my house and unleash me your monsters

        Am           G          C                  F
with you at the healm we'll go crashing around together

      Am                 G             C                      F 
and don't mistake some initial hate for something more than cautionary

      Am               G           C               F
cause baby this is love, i'll come down to hell to keep you company

    Am                F                   C       G
of all the days we've got we should be screaming out...

    Am                F                C        G
of all the days we've got we should be singing...

(C)               G                   Am              
what's to be done? one hundred and one

                  G                     C
in a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows

               G                        Am
in innocent ribs, we're minding our business

                          G                                  C
we're just minding our business instead of minding our minds

                      G                      Am
in times when the storms will ravage your clothes,

                   G                           C
the sound and the colour could render you blind

                         G                      Am
and the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep

                      G                         C
then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour

                  G                 Am
but heaven is there, under your hair,

                 G                        C
it hides in the noon noise way up in the air

                      G      Am
like a bird on the breeze    

                 G             C        
waiting for you and maybe me too

(C)               G                  Am
whats there to do? one hundred and two

                   G                             C
are out on the doorstep and they're pushing the bolts back

                  G                      Am
they're wanting in, they're humming our hymn

                       G          C
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...

                       G          Am         C
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...

(C)          G             Am             G             
in the trees, listen to it, it's easy man, you can do it too

C      G               Am    G
sing: i know what i want

C G                Am  G
i  know what i need

    Am                     F                C      G
of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out...

    Am                     F                C      G
of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out...

    Am                    F                 C                  G
of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house

C                                    G
if i could cheer you up it would mean so much,

E                 Am                G               F
clowns in love and laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off

              C                   G 
you say, "its not my fault that i get so low

       E                       Am                       E
but to drown you too, that's a sick way to love, it's a sick way to love,

               F
it's a fucking sick way to love"
