G            Cadd9     G
I've been in search of stones
G
Making up the pavement
        Cadd9    G
of less traveled roads
   G/F#    Em
mining for treasure deep in my bones
Em           D    Dsus4 D  Dsus4
That I never found

[Verse]
G                Cadd9 G
Went looking for reve..rence
G
Tried to find it in a bottle
       Cadd9 G
& came back  again
G/F#      Em
High on a hashpipe of good intent
Em                     D   Dsus4 D Dsus4
But it only brought me down

[Chorus]
Cadd9 D                   G    G/F# Em
Tried institutions of the mind and  soul
Cadd9   D
It only taught me what I
G      G/F# Em
Should not  know
Cadd9  D
Oh the answer well
G         G/F# Em
who would have guessed
Em       C            D
Could be something as simple as
Em   C            D         G   Cadd9 G
this,something as simple as this

[Verse]
G                Cadd9 G
Traveled to each oceans end
G
Saw all 7 wonders,
       Cadd9 G
trying to make some sense
G    G/F# Em
Memorized the mantra confucius said
Em                     D   Dsus4 D Dsus4
But it only let me down

[Chorus]
Cadd9 D                   G    G/F# Em
Tried absolution of the mind and soul
Cadd9   D              G      G/F# Em
It only led me where I should not go
Cadd9  D
Oh and the answer well
    G     G/F# Em
how could I miss
C            D         Em
Something as simple as this
C            D         G   Cadd9 G
Something as simple as this?

[Bridge]
Cadd9 D    G       Cadd9 D  G
I     been falling crashing breaking
Cadd9 D       G
And   all the while you were
Cadd9 D    G
stood here waiting
       Em
For me girl

[Chorus]
Cadd9 D              G     G/F#  Em
Tried liberation of my own free will
Cadd9   D              G     G/F#    Em
But it let me looking to get higher still
Cadd9  D
Oh and the answer well
    G     G/F#   Em
Who would have guessed
Em        C           D         Em
Could be something as simple as this
Em            G            Am
God knows how I could have missed
C             D          G  Cadd9 G
Something as simple as this
