G7

      F            C         Bb
we laughed, like hell we laughed
G7

he said “the games up
        F         C

[Verse 2]
 
G7
was I wrong to think it epic?
G7
was I naive to think it grand?
G7
was I wrong to think it magic?
G7
are we all just sitting in his hand?
 
[Pre Chorus]
 
G7
no, no, no, no
Bb                   C          G7
you almost had me fooled
Bb                   C        G7
you almost had me fooled
 
[Chorus]
 
F6
it’s those simple ones
E7                       A7        G7
that follow us to our graves
F6
if I could peel the husk
E7                     A7         G7
I wouldn’t lead such long, long days
F                         Em7        D    C9
just a little bit goes a long, long way
 
[Solo]
 
F Em7 D C9 repeated
 
[Chorus]
 
F6
it’s those simple ones
E7                       A7      G7
that follow us to our graves
F6
if I could peel the husk
E7                    A7         G7
I wouldn’t lead such long, long days
F6
it’s that simple love
E7                        A7      G7
that follows us to our graves
F6
if I could peel the husk
E7                    A7         G7
I wouldn’t lead such long, long days
F6                         Em7       D   C9
just a little bit goes a long, long way…
              saw their days
bitten away by grinding teeth
we laughed, like hell we laughed
then it fell
dude rang his bell
he said “the games up
these rules are mine
and boy if you are wise
you’ll come to play along
boy you’ll come and get yourself in line”
he said
“boy you’ll come and get yourself in line…”

was I wrong to think it epic?
was I naive to think it grand?
was I wrong to think it magic?
are we all just sitting in his hand?
no, no, no, no

you almost had me fooled
you almost had me fooled

it’s those simple ones
that follow us to our graves
if I could peel the husk
I wouldn’t lead such long, long days

just a little bit goes a long, long way

it’s those simple ones
that follow us to our graves
if I could peel the husk
I wouldn’t lead such long, long days

it’s that simple love
that follows us to our graves
if I could peel the husk
I wouldn’t lead such long, long days

just a little bit goes a long, long way…
