Simple

	  		Intro: B D# G# A 


B 
You're such a poet 
D# 
I wish I could be Wesley Willis 
C#                                         low E 
My words would flow like honey, sweet and laid on thick 
You're so edgy 
You dont even need a rhyming dictionary 
I wipe my hands on your jeans, 'cause they are more distressed 
So they say--you got O.C.D. 
And they claim you can barely read 
But you say "Don't bother me with all of your reality" 

B               E 
But it could be so simple 
(you were thinking) 
G#                  F# 
Life should be that simple 
(Who would have thought it) 
I wish it were just so simple 
(don't know what you were thinking) 
But the point's been missed 
You've made a mess 
Who would have guessed 
That it's as simple as it seems 

So what, you're a genius 
But you've got a lot to learn 
Like the time you lost your apartment 
Cause you bought too much Vuitton 
You park in a loading zone 
You sleep with the lights all on 
You cross your i's and dot your t's 
All it goes to show 

That it could be so simple 
(you were thinking) 
Life should be that simple 
(Who would have thought it) 
I wish it were just that simple 
(don't know what you were thinking) 
The point's been missed 
We've made a mess 
Who would have guessed 
That it's as simple as it seems 

Same chords as Chorus: 
I'm not saying that it's a piece of cake 
Just take a moment to re-evaluate 
The possibilities 
The situations 
The opportunities 
That are waiting 
Oh, the possibilities 
Oh, I 

It could, it could be that simple 
(you were thinking) 
Life should be that simple 
(Who would have thought it) 
I wish it were just so simple 
(don't know what you were thinking) 
You're in a haze 
It's just a phase 
You know this maze 
Is as simple as it seems 

Same chords as the Chorus: 
We could talk all day 
About your eccentricities 
What I mean to say 
Oh, is that I need you listen please 
And focus on life's simplicities 
So don't be afraid to strip it away 
Cause at the end of the day 
It's still as simple as it seems 

It is all so simple 
Just deal with it
