SARA BAREILLES
"Simple And True"
(Solomon Dorsey)

[Intro:]
Oooh
Oooh

If I start with a guitar
Even though I don't play well
And be still, until the melody claims what's on my heart
Then it won't have to stay there
And soon I can set it free

[Chorus:]
Simple and true
I just don't know
What I'm gonna do without you
Simple and plain
And I just don't know
How I would ever say it any other way
Simple and true
I still love you

[Post-Chorus:]
Oooh
Oooh

If I hold this in my hands
And I rock back and forth
Could I soothe me a song to sing
To add to the millions of other songs to lost lovers?
Would mine lift up a spirit at all?
If you hear it-

[Chorus:]
Simple and true
I just don't know
What I'm gonna do without you
Simple and plain
And I just don't know
How I would ever say it any other way
Simple and true

[Coda]
Simple, oh
I just don't know
Simple and plain
I just don't know
How I would ever say it any other way
Simple and true
That I can't make myself let go, too
Simple and true
I still love you

[Outro:]
Oooh
Oooh
