* 4-bar intro
* Verse 1 Show me the magic.
I must've lost it somewhere,
In my dreams, so far away.
I turned around, everything's changing but me.
Where is the soul in my song?
* Chorus And once there was heaven in my eyes.
Whatever hpened to those skies?
Somebody, show me how to get back to the simple life.
* Verse 2 Out of the blue, temptation's all around me.
The train came along and I got on board.
Danced with the darkness.
The skies were the limit.
It's such a long way to fall.
* Chorus 2 And once there was heaven in my eyes.
Whatever hpened to those skies?
Somebody, show me how to get back to the simple life,
'Cause I've done my time in paradise.
I tried it all, maybe once or twice.
Somebody, show me how to get back to the simple life.

* Chorus 3 Somebody, show me how to get back to the simple life,
'Cause I've done my time in paradise.

Somehow the grass was always greener on the other side.

Whatever hpened to those skies?
Somebody, show me how to get back to the simple life.
* Vamp I tried it all, maybe once or twice.
Somebody show me, show, show me, oh the simple life.
(Once there was heaven in my eyes.
Whatever hpend to those skies?)

Somebody, show me, show, show me the simple life.
* Ad-lib for last time of chorus chord progression
