F It oughta be a simple thing Chorus: Bb I can't hold on C F And I can't return Bb It's time to let go C F Start to live and learn Verse 2: G Eb I took a one-way flight Bb F Too high to see the ground G Eb Now I know how long it takes Bb F A heart to come down G Eb Alone on the highway now Bb F I'm takin' it mile by mile G Eb I'd rather be a lonely man Bb Than an imprisoned child F So why do I feel the strain Bb C That keeps trippin' me up? F Will it ever be a simple thing?
