Verse:
GCadd9G
I've been in search of stones
G
Making up the pavement
Cadd9G
of less traveled roads
G/F#Em
mining for treasure deep in my bones
EmDDsus2DDsus2
That I never found
Verse:
GCadd9G
Went looking for reve..rence
G
Tried to find it in a bottle
Cadd9G
& came back again
GG/F#Em
High on a hashpipe of good intent
EmDDsus2DDsus2
But it only brought me down
Chorus:
Cadd9DGG/F#Em
Tried institutions of the mind and soul
Cadd9D
It only taught me what I
GG/F#Em
Should not know
Cadd9D
Oh the answer well
GG/F#Em
who would have guessed
EmCD
Could be something as simple as
GCDGCadd9G
this,something as simple as this
Verse:
Traveled to each oceans end
Saw all 7 wonders,
trying to make some sense
Memorized the mantra confucius said
But it only let me down
Chorus
Tried absolution of the mind and soul
It only led me where I should not go
Oh and the answer well
how could I miss
Something as simple as this?
Something as simple as this?
Bridge:
Cadd9DGCadd9DG
I been falling crashing breaking
Cadd9DG
And all the while you were
Cadd9DG
stood here waiting
Em
For me girl
Chorus:
Tried liberation of my own free will
But it left me looking to get higher still
Oh and the answer well
who could have guessed
could be something as simple as this?
God knows how I could have missed
Something as simple as this
