Intro:

A  D  F#m  D


Verse 1:
A                         D
Lately, I been asked some questions
                          F#m                           D
To things that don't have answers, it keeps me up at night
     A                             D
On a high wire, the world below is on fire
                     F#m                 E      D
And I can't seem to get there in time to put it out

Pre-Chorus:
      E       F#m      E     A
Well hope can hold us all together
           F#m              F#m  E       D
But not forever, what can I do about it now?


Chorus:
A             Bm             A                D
Getting by on simple things, letting go of material dreams
A              F#m         E
Search for a quiet in my mind
A                   Bm               A                   D
Take a minute, look up at the stars, go for glory on the air guitar
A             F#m               E
Step outside, find my voice and sing
E                   D    A  Bm  D  Bm  E  A
Pleasure in simple things


Verse 2:
             A                      D
I took for granted, little special moments
                      F#m                 E      D
Lit up and fade like fireflies, in early summer nights
           A                              D
Drinking Cheerwine, and laughing with my daughter
                   F#m                    E        D
Dancing 'round the back yard, and losing track of time


Pre-Chorus:
      E        F#m      E     A
Well love will hold us all together
         F#m              F#m  E      D
Maybe forever, what can I do about it now?


Chorus:
A             Bm             A                D
Getting by on simple things, letting go of material dreams
A             F#m         E
Search for a quiet in my mind
A                   Bm               A                   D
Take a minute, look up at the stars, go for glory on the air guitar
A             F#m               E
Step outside, find my voice and sing
E                   D       A  Bm  A     A  Bm
Pleasure in simple things


Bridge:
E             F#m                        A
There's some answers, that I know for certain
                    D                           A     C#m
I didn't need the questions, for me to figure out
E        F#m                                       B
It's the small things, the hope you share and the love you bring
                    D                                E  F#m  Bm
Not chandeliers or diamond rings, don't ever have a doubt


Chorus:
A             Bm             A                D
Getting by on simple things, letting go of material dreams
A             F#m         E     D  A  Bm
Search for a quiet in my mind
A                   Bm               A                   D
Take a minute, look up at the stars, go for glory on the air guitar
A             F#m               E
Step outside, find my voice and sing
E                   D   A  Bm  A
Pleasure in simple things
