INTRO:
[Em] [C] [D]
[Em] [C] [D]
VERSE 1:
[G]Looking down out of this little round window
On s[Em]ilver wings at 20,000 feet
At l[C]akes and the streams and fields of green
I t[C]end to think the most pecu[D]liar things
[G]Ribbons of highways, side roads, and byways
[Em]People going all ways, always in a hurry
Gotta g[C]et there, but just where, from up here
I'm not sure wh[C]ere it's all going... or what it all me[D]ans
CHORUS:
But some[Em]times I think... it's just a s[C]imple thing
I cl[G]ose my eyes and I r[D/F#]ealize all I [C]really need[D]
Is the l[Em]ove I have... and the [C]love I have to give
[G]Anything else there is[D] ? is insi[C]gnificant
[D]In this tiny life[Em][C][D]
VERSE 2:
[G]Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into [Em]Mondays
Some days are better than some days
I c[C]an't see the sky, skyscraper's too high
3[C]0-second daydream at another red l[D]ight
I'm b[G]ack in my hometown, on roads that we rode down
[Em]Those sights and sounds are yesterdays now
There's de[C]adlines and stress lines, too much on my mind
I'm get[C]ting it all... but what's it all for[D]
CHORUS:
Some[Em]times I think... it's just a s[C]imple thing
I cl[G]ose my eyes and I r[D/F#]ealize all I [C]really need[D]
Is the l[Em]ove I have... and the [C]love I have to give
[G]Anything else there is[D] ? is insi[C]gnificant
[D]In this tiny life[G]
BRIDGE:
It's the l[F]ove we make, it's the dreams we share
The fri[C]ends we find in our short time here
It's kn[F]owing God's grace, the touch of a hand
H[C]olding a baby, calling Mom and Dad
It's m[F]aking the most of the moments we have
And ge[C]tting to live long enough to look back
On the y[F]ears, the sweet tears of joy and laughter
That's [D]all that really matters...
INSTRUMENTAL:
[Em]Ohh y[C]eah..[G].[D]
[Em] [C] [G] [D]
FINALE:
Some[Em]times I think... it's just a s[C]imple thing
I cl[G]ose my eyes and I r[B]ealize all I[C] really need[D]
Is the l[Em]ove I have.[D].. and the [C]love I have to give
[G]Anything else there is[D] ? is insi[C]gnificant
It doesn't m[C]atter... in this tiny life
