VERSE 1:

G 
Looking down out of this little round window
    Em
On silver wings at 20,000 feet
    C
At lakes and the streams and fields of green
   C                         D
I tend to think the most peculiar things

G
Ribbons of highways, side roads, and byways
Em
People going all ways, always in a hurry
       C
Gotta get there, but just where, from up here
               C                                      D
I'm not sure where it's all going... or what it all means


CHORUS:

        Em                            C
But sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing
    G                  D/F#         C           D
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
        Em                    C
Is the love I have... and the love I have to give
G                     D         C
Anything else there is – is insignificant
D                  Em  C  D
In this tiny life


VERSE 2:

G                                        Em
Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays

Some days are better than some days
   C
I can't see the sky, skyscraper's too high
 C                                 D
30-second daydream at another red light

     G      
I'm back in my hometown, on roads that we rode down
Em
Those sights and sounds are yesterdays now
          C
There's deadlines and stress lines, too much on my mind
       C                                   D
I'm getting it all... but what's it all for


CHORUS:

    Em                            C
Sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing
    G                  D/F#         C           D
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
        Em                    C
Is the love I have... and the love I have to give
G                     D         C
Anything else there is – is insignificant
D                  G
In this tiny life


BRIDGE:

          F
It's the love we make, it's the dreams we share
       C
The friends we find in our short time here
       F
It's knowing God's grace, the touch of a hand
 C
Holding a baby, calling Mom and Dad
      F
It's making the most of the moments we have
      C
And getting to live long enough to look back
        F
On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter
       D                          
That's all that really matters...


INSTRUMENTAL:

Em   C    G   D
Ohh yeah...

Em  C  G  D


FINALE:

    Em                            C
Sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing
    G                  B           C           D
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
        Em         D          C
Is the love I have... and the love I have to give
G                     D         C
Anything else there is – is insignificant
            C                          
It doesn't matter... in this tiny life
