Verse:
          A minorAm      C majorC      FF         G+G
It's as simple as this, here it is, couldn't spell it out more clearly
        A minorAm       C majorC      FF          G+G
There's only today and the freeway and the pain that keeps you near me
     A minorAm    C majorC       FF        C majorC        FF
The animation of sinking souls, strung along the telephone poles

It's easy to miss

Verse:
              A minorAm      C majorC
Well, you could circle the earth, the universe,
      FF        G+G
but we're shadowed in the same light
        A minorAm      C majorC       FF      G+G
It's coming undone, so you run, well I'm circling the drain pipe
    A minorAm     C majorC     FF       C majorC
An invitation to just forget, but I'm not finished yet
 FF
I got big plans

Chorus:
C majorC    G+G  E minorEm     FF
Cut off the tape and undo the mat
C majorC    G+G    E minorEm     FF
Washed out and faded like a photograph
    C majorC  G+G    E minorEm       FF
And I spell out your name across the overpass
          A minorAm
It's as simple as that

Verse 2:
          A minorAm       C majorC      FF       G+G
It's as simple as this, what'd I miss, I will carry to the last day
      A minorAm        C majorC      FF       G+G
Deliver my spark through the dark to the angles in the ashtray
   A minorAm     C majorC   FF        C majorC    FF
Saturation of hopeless needs, but as the asphalt bleeds

Curtains rise and

C majorC   G+G     E minorEm       FF
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
    C majorC   G+G    E minorEm       FF
And I'm deep in the background of some photograph
    C majorC     G+G    E minorEm         FF
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass


Bridge:
          A augmentedA   FF
It's as simple as that, ohh
C majorC       DmDm      FF
Simple's hard enough now anyway
C majorC       DmDm      FF
Simple's hard enough now anyway


C majorC   G+G     E minorEm       FF
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
     C majorC   G+G     E minorEm       FF
Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph  x2
     C majorC   G+G     E minorEm       FF
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass


Bridge:

It's as simple as that
C majorC       DmDm      FF
Simple's hard enough now anyway x4
