Lyrics

[Intro]
| G - Am7/G | G - - | -

[Verse 1]
G            Am7/G     G
I've been in search of stones
                  G           Am7/G     G           G/F#
Making up the pavement of lesstravelled roads Mining
        Em
for treasure deep in my bones
             D    Dsus4
That I never found
D Dsus4     G           Am7/G G
       Went looking for reverence
                         G
Tried to find it in a bottle
         Am7/G G           G/F#
And came back again High on
      Em
a hash  pipe of good intent
                       D   Dsus4 D Dsus4
But it only brought me down

[Chorus]
C             D            G    G/F# Em
 Tried institutions of the mind and  soul
C              D          G      G/F# Em
 It only taught me what I should not  know
C              D            G    G/F#     Em
 Oh and the answer well who would    have guessed
         C            D             Em
Could be something as simple as this
C            D             G Am7/G
Something as simple as this

[Verse 2]
G                 Am7/G   G
Travelled to each ocean's end
                 G
Saw all seven wonders,
          Am7/G     G              G/F#
trying to make some sense Memorized
        Em
the mantra Confucius said
                   D   Dsus4 D Dsus4
But it only let me down

[Chorus]
C            D           G    G/F# Em
 Tried absolution of the mind and  soul
C           D           G      G/F# Em
 It only led me where I should not  go
C              D            G    G/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 were stood here waiting
            Em C
For me, girl

[Chorus]
C            D          G   G/F# Em
 Tried liberation of my own free will
C                  D           G   G/F#     Em
 But it left me looking to get higher  still
C              D
 Oh and the answer, well,
    G     G/F# Em
who would have guessed?
         C            D             Em
Could be something as simple as this

[Outro]
Em            G                  Am G
God knows how I could have missed

Something as simple as this
