VERSE 1:

A                C#m/G#
  I walked across an empty land
Bm                            Esus         E/B
  I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
A                 C#m/G#
  I felt the earth beneath my feet
Bm                        Esus         E/B       
  Sat by the river and it made me complete

  Oh simple thing where have you gone?

  I came across a fallen tree
Bm                          Esus        E/B
  I felt the branches of it looking at me
A                  C#m/G#
  Is this the place we used to love?

This is great song even when transcribed to guitar. I no longer have a
copy of this song most of it is from memory, the only part i cant remember
fully is the instrumental break.

Oh simple thing where have you gone

Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
