Tracey Curtis - I Should Have Kept It Simple
Side Note: I changed the key down a semitone as some
of the chords are not playable on ukulele in that key.
I should also mention that I changed Dm7 to Dm, but that
may be wrong
[Intro]
 F   Dm   Bb   Cx2
C
You Fneed to know the answer to a Dmmillion questions
About Bbyour self and the Cworld around you like
FHow does the Earth turn Dmwhy does the sun burn
BbWhat are stars
Who Clives on Mars
My enBbthusiasm tires you
I Ctalk too much
And Dmnow you're looking all aAround
I Bbshould have kept it simple
CI'll start aFgain
FThe Moon goes Dmround the Earth goes aBbround the Sun
It's as Csimple as that, lesson Fdone
FThe Moon goes Dmround the Earth goes aBbround the Sun
It's as Csimple as that, lesson Fdone
We gFo back about four and a half Dmbillion years ago
To the Bbbirth of our sun and the Cforming planets
FBlack holes comets constDmellations now gone
BbWe look at supernovas
But beCfore too long
My enBbthusiasm tires you

It's as Csimple as that, lesson Fdone
We Ftalk of evolution and I Dmtry to explain
In the Bbwords of Darwin how things Cslowly change
The FEarth will stop turning long Dmafter you're gone
BbNothing lasts forever
Which inCcludes the Sun
The BbUniverse scares you
I've Csaid too much
And Dmnow you're looking at the Aground
I Bbshould have kept it simple
CI'll start aFgain
FThe Moon goes Dmround the Earth goes aBbround the Sun
It's as Csimple as that, lesson Fdone
