B                                     D#m
You're such a poet, I wish I could be Wesley Willis
   C#m                          Em
My words would flow like honey, sweet and laid on thick
   B                            D#m
You're so edgy, You don't even need a rhyming dictionary
  C#m                                Em
I wipe my hands on your jeans, Cause they are more distressed
        B                            D#m
So they say you've got OCD, And they claim you can barely read
        C#m                      Em
But you say don't bother me with all of your reality

B            E             G#m          F#
But it could be so simple, life should be that simple
B              E             G#m
I wish it were just so simple, but the point's been missed
                      F#
You've made a mess, Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems?

B                                    D#m
So what, you're a genius, But you've got a lot to learn
         C#m                                     Em
Like the time you lost your apartment, Cause you bought too much Vuitton
    B                          D#m
You park in a loading zone You sleep with the lights all on
     C#m                             E
You cross your Is and dot your Ts, it only goes to show

B            E              G#m          F#
That it could be so simple, life should be that simple
B              E             G#m
I wish it were just so simple, but the point's been missed
                      F#
You've made a mess, Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems?

B                    E                    Em
I'm not saying that it's a piece of cake, just take a moment to reevaluate
B                     G#m              F#                   B         E
The possibilities, the situations, The opportunities that are waiting
G#m                    F#
Oh, the possibilities Oh, I

B                  E               G#m          F#       B
It could, it could be that simple, life should be that simple
B              E 
I wish it were just so simple.
G#m                           F#
You're in a haze, it's just a phase
              E
You know this maze
        F#         B
Is as simple as it seems

B                     E
We could talk all day about your eccentricities
G#m                F#
What I mean to say oh, is that I need you listen please
B            E
And focus on all of life's simplicities
G#m            F#
So don't be afraid to strip it away
                        B
Cause at the end of the day it's still as simple as it seems
             F#           B
It is all so simple, just deal with it (End on B)
