Verse 1
      F                     BbThey mocked me when I was singing the songs
          F                           BbTrying to get back to something more simple than we have
     Bb                C            F    BbThey mocked me cos I told it like it was
F                 BbWrote about disappointment and greed
       F                            BbWrote about what we really didn't need in our lives

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                             BbMocked me when it got out of hand
F                     BbNobody tried to understand
               Bb         C               FNow we got to keep it simple and that's that

        Bb                    C         FBut we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
