John Mayer - A Simple Song

[Intro]
E Fm11

[Verse]
E F#m11 E F#m11
I don’t wanna get in fights on private flights to paradise no more
E F#m11 B E Esus E
And I don’t wanna suffer fools or sycophants by swimming pools and dance floors

[Chorus]
A A/G# F#m11
I just want a high that don’t end low
C#m B A
A hat to call my home
A A/G# F#m11
A bag that won’t hold much
F#m11 A/B E A E
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone

E F#m11

[Verse]
E F#m11 E F#m11
I’ve been kind to angry souls in hopes they wouldn’t be so cold and empty
E F#m11 B E Esus E
And I don’t wanna live off crumbs and wait for love that never comes to get me

[Chorus]
A A/G# F#m11
I just want a high that don’t end low
C#m B A
A hat to call my home
A A/G# F#m11
A bag that won’t hold much
F#m11 A/B E A E
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone

[Bridge]
E7 A/E
And I’d go la – – – – la la
Am/E E
la – – – – la la
F#m7/E A6/E
la – – – – la la
A6/E A/B E
la la – la la la – la (x2)

[Bridge 2]
E F#m11 Emaj7/G# F#m11 (x2)

[Verse]
E F#m11 Emaj7/G# F#m11
Yeah I think I’m gonna leave this town, let a little bit of open road surround me out there
E F#m11 B E A E
cause you can’t be lonely when you stare into that sunny yellow flare, oh yeah

[Chorus]
A A/G# F#m11
I just want a high that don’t end low
C#m B A
A hat to call my home
A A/G# F#m11
A bag that won’t hold much
C#m B A
A dog who lives the dream
A A/G# F#m11
Some booze that I can feel
C#m B A
A good day once a week
F#m11 A/B E A E
And a simple song to sing when I’m alone

[Outro]
E7 A/E
And I’d go la – – – – la la
Am/E E
la – – – – la la
F#m7/E A6/E
la – – – – la la
A6/E A/B E
la la – la la la – la (x2)
