Chords

[Intro] F Bb x6 [Verse 1]
      F                     Bb
They mocked me when I was singing the songs

          F                           Bb
Trying to get back to something more simple than we have

     Bb                C            F    Bb
They mocked me cos I told it like it was

F                 Bb
Wrote about disappointment and greed

       F                            Bb
Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives

         C             F
Make us feel alive and whole
[Chorus]
    Bb                 C                       F
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand

    Bb              C                F
And straight reality is always cold

    A7                                      D
Saying something hard edged is off the wall

    G                      C
And it might seem too bold
[Verse 2]
F                             Bb
Mocked me when it got out of hand

F                     Bb
Nobody tried to understand

               Bb         C               F
Now we got to keep it simple and that's that
[Solo] F Bb F Bb Bb C F x2 [Chorus] [Verse 3]
          F                 Bb
Well I'm down here on the running board

F                     Bb
Where I've been many times before

        Bb                    C         F
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves

F                          Bb
Mocked me when I tried to get back

           F                           Bb
Said the train was completely off the track

       Bb                              C               F
And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves
[Bridge]
Dm             Bb                      C                  F
Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves

Dm   Bb                              C                 F
Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
