[Intro]
G  Cadd9  G
 
 
[Verse]
G               C         G
I've been... in search of stones
              G                   C        G
Making up the pavement... of less traveled roads
G  D/F#    Em               C     Em
mining for treasure... deep in my bones
    Em  C     D   Dsus D  Dsus
That I  never found
 
 
[Verse]
     G              C   G
Went looking... for reverence
                      G             C     G
Tried to find it in a bottle & came back again
G   D/F#  Em             C      Em
High on a hashpipe... of good intent
       Em   C          D   Dsus D Dsus
But it only brought me down
 
 
[Chorus]
C           D              G    D/F#  Em
 Tried institutions of the mind and  soul
C        D                G      D/F#  Em
 It only taught me what I should not  know
C        D                G     D/F#  Em
 Oh, the answer, well who would have guessed
         C            D         Em
Could be something as simple as this
C            D         G   C  G
something as simple as this
 
 
G   C   G
 
 
[Verse]
G                   C      G
Traveled... to each oceans end
          G                    C         G
Saw all 7 wonders... trying to make some sense
G    D/F#     Em           C      Em
Memorized the mantra... confucius said
       Em   C      D   Dsus D Dsus
But it only let me down
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C           D            G    D/F#  Em
 Tried absolution of the mind and soul
C        D              G     D/F#  Em
 It only led me where I should not go
C            D                G     D/F# Em
 Oh, and the answer, well how could  I  miss
C            D         Em
Something as simple as this
C            D         G
Something as simple as this?
 
 
[Bridge]
C    D    G   D   C    D   G    D
I've been falling crashing breaking
C   D   G     D   C     D    G   D
All the while you stood here waiting...
       Em
For me girl
 
 
G C G   G C G  G D/F# Em  C Em   Em C D Dsus D Dsus
 
 
[Chorus]
C           D           G   D/F# Em
 Tried liberation of my own free will
C               D              G D/F# Em
 But it left me looking to get higher still
C        D                G     D/F#  Em
 Oh, the answer, well who would have guessed
         C            D         Em
Could be something as simple as this
         C            D         Em
Could be something as simple as this
Em            G            C
God knows how I could have missed
C            D         G  C  G
Something as simple as this
