Simple Story

(Verse 1) C I know it's a simple story But where you gonna hear another one just like this? Another minute passing, waiting 'round for something to hit... F And then I start to exist, when you were looking for me C Why'd I have to leave and make you thought I'd run? Maybe I need to be on something Am To figure out just what all this means to me I should have played her something Em Shoulda said something then C But it's too late I know it's a simple story G Gonna have to be a man someday (Verse 2) C Let's start a vicious cycle Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass But then I disappear and I show up a few days later F With my foot in a trap But it's only my heart that's bleeding C I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind Am And heard the beat of the band Em C I know I give no reason to give me something old or give me something new Why do I even need this? G C Gonna have to do what I need to (Verse 3) Just like a teenage summer The sun beats down and cracks the flags left and right But it's not just the heat F My body and my head are full of things that keep me up on a night Like it's only time and distance C You're in a black box and I can't even wait outside You'll just have to tell me about it Gonna have to sleep G G* Gsus2 G It's too light... C Let's start a vicious cycle Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass But then I disappear and I show up a few days later F With my foot in a trap But it's only my heart that's bleeding C I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind Am And heard the beat of the band I know it's just a feeling Em Shouldn't even have these thoughts C But it's too late I know it's a simple story G C Gonna have to be a man someday
