[Verse]
C# A#m F#
In and out
C#
That's the way in
A#m F#
I saw an old sign
C#
When my world was way down
F#m A#m
Quiet on the streets
C#
So I climbed the stairs
F# A#m
To the rarified air
C#
I've been on fire
A#m F#
Made from my thoughts
C#
I thought up my life by
[Verse 2]
C# A#m F#
Out then back in
C#
That's the way to begin
F#m A#m
But I had to climb down
C#
Into today
A#m
And give up the pain
C#
I held myself up by
[Chorus]
F# A#m C#
Baby, be simple
F# A#m
Baby, be simple,
C#
Be simple
G#
Be simple with me
[Verse 3]
C# A#m F#
Out, thicker skin
C#
That's no way to begin
A#m F#
Come with your true arc
C#
To fall all the way down
F#m A#m
Like an empire
C#
Into a kingdom of guts
F# A#m
To become a rooftop
F
I built me from the bedrock
Dm A#
Made me right up
F
Ignited little tunes
Dm A#
While the wind was still
F
Trying to find a way to tell you
Dm A#
If or not the true arc
F
Is even there
Dm A#
Or on a pillow of air
F
I'll rip me apart by the lore
Dm A#
Cause to become that rooftop
C
I had to fall all the way down
[Chorus 3]
A# F
Baby, be simple
A# A#m Dm
Baaaaaby, please be simple
F
Be simple
C
Be simple with me
[Outro]
