In a Simple rhyme......this turned out brilliant, thanks for the fantastic contributions from everyone involved.
Special thanks to NickT for an amazing mix.
Simple (116bpm) (3:40)
Intro: E G#m C#m G#m
E G#m
I can express myself
C#m F#m
With a thousand words
F#m7 B E G#m
I can fill up the spaces with a lot of garbled rhyme
E G#m
We all like to hide
C#m F#m
Behind the walls we make
F#m7 B E G#m
We don’t want to let onto how we really feel
F#m7 B
So this is what I feel
F#m7 B
Will you help me make it real
E
Simple
G#m
Let’s keep it simple
C#m7
Is all I plead
F#m7 B E B
If we can keep it simple we’ll get somewhere
We can meet and talk
Not saying what we feel
We can wear a mask beneath this sunny smile
You and I are guilty of
Of making things too dense
We all fail to see the wood from the trees
So this is what we’ll do
Will you help me put it to use
Simple
Let’s keep it simple
Is all I plead
If we can keep it simply we’re halfway there
Solo: Based on E C#m E G#m E B chords
If we could speak our hearts
Straight and to the point
We wouldn’t be at cross purposes today
At times we overthink
And make things so much worse
The threats are in our heads only imagined
So this is what I choose
Will you help me put it to use
Simple
Let’s keep it simple
Is all I plead
If we can keep it simple we’ll get somewhere
E7
Simple
G#m7
Let’s keep it simple
C#m7
Is all I plead
F#m7 B E B
If we can keep it simple we’re halfway there
