Matt Nathanson - Simple Chords Lyrics

Matt Nathanson Lyrics

"Simple Chords"

Never been, never been so
Never been, I've never been so alone

I don't think you listen anymore
I don't think you listen anymore
I'm trying to pull a win out of the jaws of our defeat
And you keep swimming way out past the shore
Yeah
I don't think you listen anymore

When summer spilled out on the kitchen floor
There was no tomorrow, no before
I was bathed in light
And you shot across the sky
I whisper now, when I used to roar
Yeah, I don't think you listen anymore

Can't we be simple?
Can't we be free?
Less like an island, more like the sea
I wanna be lovers
I wanna believe
In the sound of simple chords
Not the sound of slamming doors
But I don't think you listen anymore

Can't we be simple?
Can't we be free?
Less like an island, more like the sea
I wanna be lovers
I wanna believe
In the sound of simple chords
Not the sound of slamming doors
But I don't think you listen anymore

Never been, never been so
Never been, I've never been so alone
Never been, never been so
Never been, I've never been so alone
