[Verse]
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 Dsus2 D Dsus2
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 Dsus2 D Dsus2
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
G 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 Dsus2 D Dsus2
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 G
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 Am
God knows how I could have missed
C D G Cadd9 G
