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