[Intro]
C F C F C G C
[Chorus]
C
Simple and sober I've gotten over
F C
Screaming and screeching wheels
F C
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
G C
I like the way it feels
C F C F C G C
[Verse 1]
C
Now I wake up early
C
Cross-eyed and curly
F C
and I write down my twisted dreams
F C
Oh I tip-toe and laugh 'til I find a new path
G C
and I polish it 'til it gleams
[Chorus]
C
Oh simple and sober I've gotten over
F C
Screaming and screeching wheels
F C
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
G C
I like the way it feels
C F C F C G C
[Verse 2]
C
I'm feeling shaky I sleep like a baby
F C
I wake up every couple hours to cry
F C
Oh it's only been lately I'm feeling shaky
G C
and this too shall pass on by
[Chorus]
C
Simple and sober I've gotten over
F C
Screaming and screeching wheels
F C
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
G C
I like the way it feels
C F C F C G C
[Verse 3]
C
Now I'm seeing the prize through the eyes of a child
F C
and I'm trying to keep my conscience clear
F
Oh I'm walking the walk
C
That I already talked
G C
and I'm teaching my heart to steal
[Chorus]
C
Oh simple and sober I've gotten over
F C
Screaming and screeching wheels
C C
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
G C
I like the way it feels
[Outro]
F C
Oh I'm keeping my own nose to grindstone
G C
I like the way it feels
