Elton John , Brandi Carlile - Simple Things

[Verse 1: Elton John] As an old man, I'm a young man 'Cause I've not been old for long And before these trembling waters settle I'll have flown the pond So I don't mean to be morbid Or a bit too on the nose But I'd like to share a few things That I've learned along the road [Refrain: Elton John & Brandi Carlile] What you'll find chasing dreams Is the finish line recedes And the riddle stays a riddle Oh, the humor's bittersweet [Pre-Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile, Elton John] All nature does is dance So when you dance you're in accord Look no further than the feeling That it gives you for reward Reward (Reward) Reward Reward (Reward) [Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile, Elton John] Simple things Hard to learn Fire is hot Burn, burn, burn Simple truth Hard to see Not what you want But what you need (What you need) Mm-mm [Verse 2: Brandi Carlile] I've been a sleepwalker, a cheap talker A sly grin, a discreet offer I've held steady for a gaze I've led a lover through a maze Thrown bottles at the wall When someone forgot to call I've done all the things a wild heart will do I will do [Refrain: Elton John, Elton John & Brandi Carlile] What you'll find chasing dreams Is the finish line recedes And the riddle stays a riddle Oh, the humor's bittersweet [Pre-Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile, Elton John] All nature does is dance So when you dance, you're in accord Look no further than the feeling That it gives you for reward Reward (Reward) Reward Reward (Reward) [Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile] Simple things Hard to learn Fire is hot Burn, burn, burn Simple truth Hard to see Not what you want But what you need [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile] Simple things Hard to learn Fire is hot Burn, burn, burn Simple truth Hard to see Not what you want But what you need Mm-mm
