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