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

It's easy to miss

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

Chorus:
C       G    Em         F
Cut off the tape and undo the mat
C       G        Em          F
Washed out and faded like a photograph
        C    G        Em              F
And I spell out your name across the overpass
                   Am
It's as simple as that

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

Curtains rise and


C     G          Em              F
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
        C     G        Em              F
And I'm deep in the background of some photograph
        C         G       Em                  F
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass


Bridge:
                   A      F
It's as simple as that, ohh
C              Dm           F
Simple's hard enough now anyway
C              Dm           F
Simple's hard enough now anyway


C     G          Em              F
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
          C     G          Em              F
Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph    x2
         C     G          Em              F
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass


Bridge:

It's as simple as that
C              Dm           F
Simple's hard enough now anyway x4
