Simple As This Cifras

Slightly edited version of original by Andrew Skinner (streetecho)
 
Capo 1
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G            Cadd9     G
I've been in search of stones
G
Making up the pavement
        Cadd9    G
Of less travelled roads
   G/F#    Em
Mining for treasure deep in my bones
Em           D    Dsus2 D Dsus2
That I never found
 
G               Cadd9 G
Went looking for reverence
G
Tried to find it in a bottle
       Cadd9 G
& came back  again
G    G/F# Em
High on a hashpipe of good intent
Em                     D   Dsus2 D Dsus2
But it only brought me down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Cadd9 D                   G    G/F# Em
Tried institutions of the mind and  soul
Cadd9   D
It only taught me what I
G      G/F# Em
Should not  know
Cadd9      D
Oh and the answer well
G         G/F# Em
Who would have guessed
Em       C            D         G
Could be something as simple as this
C            D         G   Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Something as simple as this
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                 Cadd9   G
Travelled to each ocean’s end
G
Saw all 7 wonders,
          Cadd9     G
Trying to make some sense
     G/F#    Em
Memorised the mantra Confucius said
Em           D    Dsus2 D Dsus2
But it only let me down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Cadd9 D                  G    G/F# Em
Tried absolutions of the mind and  soul
Cadd9   D
It only led me where I
G     G/F# Em
Could not  go
Cadd9      D
Oh and the answer well
G       G/F# Em
How could I miss
C            D         G
Something as simple as this
C            D         G   Cadd9 G
Something as simple as this
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Cadd9 D    G       Cadd9 D  G
I     been falling crashing breaking
Cadd9 D       G
And   all the while you were
Cadd9 D    G
Stood here waiting
       Em
For me girl
 
G Cadd9 G (x2) | G/F# Em D Dsus2 D
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Cadd9 D                G   G/F# Em
Tried liberation of my own free will
Cadd9   D                    G  G/F# Em
But it left me looking to get higher still
Cadd9      D
Oh and the answer well
G   G/F#  Em
Who could have guessed
Em       C            D         Em
Could be something as simple as this
Em                         Am
God knows how I could have missed
C            D         G Cadd9 G
Something as simple as this
 
G Cadd9 G
