[Intro]
[F#]  [B]  [C#]


[Verse 1]
[F#]         [B]                    [C#]
I used to live in a poor neighborhood 
[F#]      [B]                    [C#]
My friends and me we always had a time 
[F#]             [B]                      [C#]
Never had no money but we had it so good 
    [A#m]             [B]               [C#]
Those days are gone and I wanna go back 

    [B]         [F#]
So pure, so simple 


[Verse 2]
[F#]       [B]              [C#]
Never thought about it when you're young you don't care 
[F#]          [B]     [C#]
You don't realize it 'till it's all behind 
[F#]       [B]           [C#]
Take it for granted, just not well


[Chorus]
[F#]             [B]
Oh-oh It was pure and simple 
[F#]                   [B]
I'll remember those days 'till the end 
[F#]         [B]           [C#]
Oh-oh God knows it's simple 
   [B]                [G#]             [C#]
If I could live my life all over again 
                        [D#m]    [B]  [G#m] [C#] [F#]
I'd keep it pure and simple


[Bridge]
[A#m]    [B]             [C#]
Those days are gone and I wanna go back 


[Solo]
[F#]  [B]  [C#]  
(repeat like verse progression)


[Chorus]
[F#]             [B]
Oh-oh It was pure and simple 
[F#]                   [B]
I'll remember those days 'till the end 
[F#]         [B]           [C#]
Oh-oh God knows it's simple 
   [B]                [G#]             [C#]
If I could live my life all over again 
                        [D#m]    [B]  [G#m] [C#] [F#]
I'd keep it pure and simple


[Outro]
[D#m]                   [B]
Got me a feelin' I'm not alone 
[D#m]            [B]
Wish I had a road so I could go back home
