banks coming down 
                      F             C 
they're taking all our hard earned pay  
          G               F 
the lord giveth, but he taketh away  
           Am

but works getting hard to find

these are hard times 

         Am 
i built this house  
      F          C 
with my own two hands  
                 G

           F 
and five acres of land 
            Am

          C           F                   G 
it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take  
               C        F 
and though we lose our stake  
          G         Am        
heaven is where we make it  
              G        Am 
even in the smallest places,  
        G     C 
can a garden grow 

         Am 
i took this job  
           F       C 
in part as a sacrifice  
               G      
for my unborn children  
                   F 
and my beautiful wife  
              Am

          C           F                   G 
it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take  
               C        F 
and though we lose our stake  
          G         Am        
heaven is where we make it  
              G        Am 
even in the smallest places,  
        G     C 
can a garden grow 
             G         Am
