[Verse 1]
        C                                   F
You're angry but you don't know how to be that yet
     C                                  F
It seems too much went wrong and all at once
   C                                F
Resistance seems impossible from down this low
     C                                 F
And surely no one else can feel like this
[Pre-Chorus]
    F
But on the streets
         C             Dm
You can see them gathering
    F
And in your heart
      C                  Dm
You know they feel like you do
[Chorus]
C                        F
 Sound and pulse and volume
 Hands just reaching other hands
C/E
   This is almost overload
F
 I said almost overload
C                          F
 Friends and foes and princes
 Are all just human in the end
C/E
   This is so damn simple, yeah
F                     C
 It's so damn simple
[Verse 2]
     C                               F
So standing in the steady throne of restless hope
     C                              F
You don't feel like an outcast anymore
     C                                F
And something deep inside of you has waken up
         C                                      F
And you know that nothing's gonna be the same again
[Pre-Chorus]
     F
And on the streets
         C                  Dm
You can see for what seems miles
         F
Because in your heart
      C                  Dm
You know they feel like you do
[Chorus]
C                        F
 Sound and pulse and volume
 Hands just reaching other hands
C/E
   This is almost overload
F
 I said almost overload
C                          F
 Friends and foes and princes
 Are all just human in the end
C/E
   This is so damn simple, yeah
F                     C
 It's so damn simple

Your mind won't be still
    F
It may not again
     C
You don't think it will
        F
But it will, it will
[Chorus]
C
 Sound and pulse and volume
F
 Hands just reaching other hands

   This is so damn simple, yeah
