[Verse]
A           D                   E           A
Show me the magic, I must have lost it somewhere
      D             E
In my dream so far away
A        D                    E          F#m
I turn around, everything's changing but me
             G
Where is the soul in my song

[Chorus]
E              A                 A/C#
Once there was heaven in my eyes
         F#m      E         D
Whatever happened to those skies
               Bm                 A
Could somebody show me how to get back
G     D     A        A    D
To a simple life

[Verse 2]
A           D                   E           A
And out of the blue, temptation's all around me
      D             E
A train came along and I got on board
A        D                    E          F#m
Danced with the darkness, skies were the limit
             G
It's such a long way to fall

[Chorus]
E              A                 A/C#
Once there was heaven in my eyes
         F#m      E         D
Whatever happened to those skies
               Bm                 A
Could somebody show me how to get back
G     D     A
To a simple life

[Chorus 2]
E              A                 A/C#
I've done my time in paradise
         F#m      E              D
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
               Bm                 A
Could somebody show me how to get back
G     D     A
To a simple life

[Bridge]
C                         Bm7
Is there anything left inside me
G
Anything left here at all
A/C#             F#m  E     B
When am I gonna slow down
        Bm7         E      A
To the rhythm of a simple life

[Instrumemtal]
A          A/C#
F#m      E         D
          Bm                 A
Somebody show me how to get back
G     D     A
To a simple life

[Chorus]
E              A                 A/C#
I've done my time in paradise
         F#m      E              D
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
               Bm                 A
Somehow the grass was always greener
G     D     A
On the other side

[Chorus]
E              A                     A/C#
And once there was heaven in my eyes
         F#m      E         D
Whatever happened to those skies
               Bm        A  G
Could somebody show me, show me
   D      A                   E   A   A/C#
A simple life, yeah, yeah, yeah

         F#m      E              D
I've tried it all and I paid the price
      Bm                 A
Now I gotta find my way back
G     D     A
To a simple life

[Chorus]
E              A                 A/C#
Once there was heaven in my eyes
         F#m      E         D
Whatever happened to those skies
               Bm                 A
Could somebody show me how to get back
G     D     A
To a simple life
