E                                     B
Everything I say only seems to complicate it
F#m                                      A
Every other fight is just another night wasted
E
Are we gonna lose? Is this gonna last?
 B
Worry about the future, worry about the past
F#m                                               A
Think we're gonna break before I get a chance to say
this
E
Don't wanna live without you

Chorus:
E                B                F#m     A
Staring in your eyes, everything simplifies
E               B                F#m     A
Leave it all behind, everything simplifies
        E               B
All we need is nothing more
                  F#m     A
(when everything simplifies)
        E               B                F#m     A
You and I need nothing more, everything simplifies

Stressing over this, stressing over that,
we're falling
Like the whole world is banging on the door calling
Are we gonna lose? Is it gonna last?
Worry about the future, worry about the past
Filter out the noise, focus on my voice and fall in

Chorus

F#m          A        E
Why must we complicate
        C#m
Every breath we take?
F#m            A              E
Why can't you see we'll be alright?
E             B
Nothing disappears
         F#m                    A
Even the pain we've been through
E                  B
But all I need is here
            F#m           A
Don't wanna live without you

Chorus:
All we need is nothing more
When everything simplifies
You and I need nothing more
Everything simplifies
