Intro: F Bb x6 
verse 1 
      F                     Bb 
They mocked me when I was singing the songs 
          F                           Bb 
Trying to get back to something more simple than we have 
     Bb                C            F    Bb 
They mocked me cos I told it like it was 
F                 Bb 
Wrote about disappointment and greed 
       F                            Bb 
Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives 
         C             F 
Make us feel alive and whole 
    Bb                 C                       F 
    Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand 
    Bb              C                F 
    And straight reality is always cold 
    A7                                      D 
    Saying something hard edged is off the wall 
    G                      C 
    And it might seem too bold 
verse 2: 
F                             Bb 
Mocked me when it got out of hand 
F                     Bb

Nobody tried to understand 
               Bb         C               F 
Now we got to keep it simple and that's that

Chorus 
verse 3: 
          F                 Bb 
Well I'm down here on the running board 
F                     Bb 
Where I've been many times before 
        Bb                    C         F 
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves 
F                          Bb 
Mocked me when I tried to get back 
           F                           Bb 
Said the train was completely off the track 
       Bb                              C               F 
And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves 
Bridge: 
Dm             Bb                      C                  F 
Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves 
Dm   Bb                              C                 F 
Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
