Simple-Nightmare and the Cat
Written by Django Stewart & Samuel Stewart
The intro is a little iffy, But over all I think it turned out pretty good.
Standard Tuning, no capo, works for ukulele or guitar
Intro
  A    A    Bm   D(x2) 
Db  Bm  Db  Bm
Verse 1
ATime to put priorities in Bmorder
As we dance across the Fborder
Of what is love and what is Dmadness
Time to deal with all the Asadness
Buried deep beneath the Bmfloorboards
In the houses Fentertainment built
Where the silence seems to Ddouble every day
Interlude
A F#m F D
Verse 2
AMother, tell me is this what you Bmwanted
I have tried my best to Fkeep away
From the privilege in my fDather’s name
So who’s to blame for cAertain?
Who can it be behind the Bmcurtain? 
The one who orchestrates the Fviolence
Boasting overtures of bDlinding rage from the family stage
Pre-Chorus
It’s F#mchanging uAs (changing us)
Never F#mwaking uAp (waking up)
      DBm      
Just look at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
Chorus
It’s Asimple
Yeah so F#msimple
But if it’s so Fsimple
Why can’t we just Dget it?
Verse 3
It’s tortAure
Rumors whispered around the cornBmers
Scratching at our brains like fingerFnails
I guess that’s what we get for teDlling tales
Until there’s none to tell
Pre-Chorus
It’s F#mchanging uAs (changing us)
Never F#mwaking uAp (waking up)
      DBm      
Just look at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
Chorus
It’s sAimple
Yeah so F#msimple
But if it’s so Fsimple
Why can’t we just Dget it?
(And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are)
It’s sAimple
Yeah so F#msimple
But if it’s so Fsimple
Why can’t we just Dget it?
(And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are)
It’s Asimple.

A A Bm D

Db Bm Db Bm

Verse 1

A Bm

Time to put priorities in order

As we dance across the border

Of what is love and what is madness

Time to deal with all the sadness

Buried deep beneath the floorboards

In the houses entertainment built

Where the silence seems to double every day

Verse 2

A Bm

Mother, tell me is this what you wanted

I have tried my best to keep away

From the privilege in my father’s name

So who’s to blame for certain?

Who can it be behind the curtain?

The one who orchestrates the violence

Boasting overtures of blinding rage from the family stage

Pre-Chorus

F#m A

It’s changing us (changing us)

Just look at us

And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are

Rumors whispered around the corners

Scratching at our brains like fingernails

I guess that’s what we get for telling tales

Until there’s none to tell

It’s changing us (changing us)

Never waking up (waking up)

But if it’s so simple

Why can’t we just get it?

(And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are)
