A        E       F#m
Try and keep it simple
A        E   F#m
Not too far away
G       Bm       A
Movin' slow, so simple
Bm     G         A
Never felt this way

Moving sweet, so simple
Taking time to say
The way to being, to being simple
Never felt this way

Chorus:
          E
Don't be lonely
    D                     A
Oh my friends forget the past
          E
Sweet as sugar, when you're movin'
D                     A
When you're movin' slow at last
F#m    G             A
It's what I like to do

How could it be so simple?
To forget the way
A way to being, to being simple
Never felt this way

Chorus:
Don't be lonely
No, no, no, forget the past
Sweet as sugar
When you're moving slow
Your moving slow at last

It's what I like to do - x4

Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely
It's what I like to do
Sweet as sugar, sugar, sugar
It's what I like to do - x2

Moving slow, moving slow at last
It's what I like to do - x2

Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely
It's what I like to do - x2
Sweet as sugar
