Simple as This Jake Bugg
Capo 1
[G]I've been in [Cadd9]search of [G]stones
[G]Making up the pavement
Of less [Cadd9]travelled[G] roads
Min[G/F#]ing for [Em]treasure deep in my bones
[Em]That I never [D]found[Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2]
[G]Went looking for[Cadd9] rever[G]ence
[G]Tried to find it in a bottle
& came [Cadd9]back [G]again
[G]High [G/F#]on a [Em]hashpipe of good intent
[Em]But it only brought me [D]down[Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2]
[Cadd9]Tried [D]institutions of the [G]mind [G/F#]and [Em]soul
[Cadd9]It only [D]taught me what I
[G]Should [G/F#]not [Em]know
[Cadd9]Oh and the [D]answer well
[G]Who would [G/F#]have [Em]guessed
[Em]Could be [C]something as [D]simple as [G]this
[C]Something as [D]simple as [G]this[Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9] [G]
[G]Travelled to each [Cadd9]ocean?s [G]end
[G]Saw all 7 wonders,
Trying to [Cadd9]make some [G]sense
Memor[G/F#]ised the[Em] mantra Confucius said
[Em]But it only l[D]et me[Dsus2] down[D] [Dsus2]
[Cadd9]Tried [D]absolutions of the [G]mind [G/F#]and [Em]soul
[Cadd9]It only [D]led me where I
[G]Could [G/F#]not [Em]go
[Cadd9]Oh and the [D]answer well
[G]How coul[G/F#]d I m[Em]iss
[C]Something as [D]simple as [G]this
[C]Something as [D]simple as [G]this[Cadd9] [G]
[Cadd9]I [D]been [G]falling [Cadd9]crashi[D]ng [G]breaking
