Keep It Simple

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


Chorus:
    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

Solo: F Bb F Bb Bb C F x2

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:

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
