John Mayer
[Intro]
E  Fm11 

[Verse]
E                               Fm11                         E           Fm11
I don't wanna get in fights on private flights to paradise no more
E                            Fm11                  B                    E         A        E
And I don't wanna suffer fools or sycophants by swimming pools and dance floors

[Chorus]
               A          A/G       Fm11
I just want a high that don't end low
  Cm        B        A
A hat to call my home
   A          A/G       Fm11
A bag that won't hold much
    Fm11           A/B             E    A    E
And a simple song to sing when I'm alone

E  Fm11

[Verse]

I've been kind to angry souls in hopes they wouldn't be so cold and empty
E                            Fm11                  B                    E         A        E
And I don't wanna live off crumbs and wait for love that never comes to get me

[Chorus]
               A          A/G       Fm11
I just want a high that don't end low
  Cm        B        A
A hat to call my home
   A          A/G       Fm11
A bag that won't hold much
    Fm11           A/B             E    A    E
And a simple song to sing when I'm alone

Yeah I think I'm gonna leave this town, let a little bit of open road surround me out there
E                            Fm11                  B                    E         A        E
cause you can't be lonely when you stare into that sunny yellow flare, oh yeah

[Chorus]
               A          A/G       Fm11
I just want a high that don't end low
  Cm        B        A
A hat to call my home
   A          A/G       Fm11
A bag that won't hold much
   Cm       B          A
A dog who lives the dream
    A       A/G        Fm11
Some booze that I can feel
   Cm       B         A
A good day once a week
 Fm11           A/B             E    A    E
And a simple song to sing when I'm alone
