A Simple Song

[Intro]
E  Fm11
 
[Verse]
E                               F#m11                         E           F#m11
I don't wanna get in fights on private flights to paradise no more
E                            F#m11                  B                    E         Esus        E
And I don't wanna suffer fools or sycophants by swimming pools and dance floors
 
[Chorus]
               A          A/G#       F#m11
I just want a high that don't end low
  C#m        B        A
A hat to call my home
   A          A/G#       F#m11
A bag that won't hold much
    F#m11           A/B             E    A    E
And a simple song to sing when I'm alone
 
E  F#m11
 
[Verse]
E                                F#m11                                E           F#m11
I've been kind to angry souls in hopes they wouldn't be so cold and empty
E                            F#m11                  B                    E         Esus        E
And I don't wanna live off crumbs and wait for love that never comes to get me
 
[Chorus]
               A          A/G#       F#m11
I just want a high that don't end low
  C#m        B        A
A hat to call my home
   A          A/G#       F#m11
A bag that won't hold much
    F#m11           A/B             E    A    E
And a simple song to sing when I'm alone

Yeah I think I'm gonna leave this town, let a little bit of open road surround me out there
E                                  F#m11           B            E      A        E
cause you can't be lonely when you stare into that sunny yellow flare, oh yeah
 
[Chorus]
               A          A/G#       F#m11
I just want a high that don't end low
  C#m        B        A
A hat to call my home
   A          A/G#       F#m11
A bag that won't hold much
   C#m       B          A
A dog who lives the dream
    A       A/G#        F#m11
Some booze that I can feel
   C#m       B         A
A good day once a week
 F#m11           A/B             E    A    E
And a simple song to sing when I'm alone
