Scott Avett's version of Just Be Simple by Jason Molina. [Verse 1]
                     G
You’ll never hear me talk about 

        Bm
One day getting out 

          Em
Why put a new address 

                C        D
On the same old loneliness  
[Verse 2]
                G
Everybody knows where that is 

              Bm
We built that house of his 

         Em
And when he’s not home 

                     C      D
someone else we know always is
[Verse 3]
                   G
If Heaven’s really coming back 

                Bm
I hope it has a heart attack 

                  Em
When they see how dangerous 

          C         D
It is for guys like that 
[Verse 4]
                  G
And the night has always known 

                     Bm
When its time to get going 

                 Em
When its really been so long 

        C       D
that it starts showing 
[Verse 5]
            G
It’s always had that ghost 

          Bm
It always almost tells me 

    Em     C D
the secret
[Verse 6]
D                     G
how there’s really no difference 

          Bm
in who he was once and who 

Em          C D
he’s become 
[Verse 7]
D                 G
I think he’s been lettin' me win 

      Bm
And I think he’s doing it again 

Em                    C   D
Thanks for letting me win
[Verse 8]
D                  G 
And everything you hated me for 

Bm               Em       C     D
Honey, there was so much more

D                 G      
I just didn’t get busted 
[Solo] Bm Em C D D [Bridge]
D                        Am           D
I ain’t looking for that easy way out 

     Am                      D
This whole life its been about

Am                 D
Trying trying trying

Am              D
Trying trying try
[Chours]
             G     Bm
To be simple again

               Em    C
Just be simple again

D              G     Bm
Just be simple again

               G     
Just be simple again  
[Outro] C D G
