VERSE:
 Bb           
Time to look, 
 A
Time to laugh
 G              A
Time to tear it all and head
  Bb 
'Cause you've found 
     A                       D
You don't know where you're going


VERSE:
 Bb
Went to school 
 A
All the years
     G
But now you see 
 A
Nothing's clear
  Bb
'Cause you've found 
A               D
No one really knows


CHORUS:
F
I am but a simple man
 G
Tryin' to do the best I can
 A
Here in the world 
                      D
Where I must live my life


VERSE:
 Bb
Time to run,
 A 
Time to hide
 G                A
Time to dig your way inside
   Bb                 A
'Cause you see your friends 
            Dm
In mass confusion


VERSE:
Bb
And your dad 
 A
Can't explain
 G                       A
Why you're feelin' that you're insane
     Bb
But don't you see, 
A              D
He is just as fine


CHORUS:
F
I am but a simple man
 G
Tryin' to do the best I can

Here in the world 
                      D
Where I must live my life
