Biography:
Inspired by a vast variety of artists, from Brian Wilson to Stevie Wonder, singer/songwriter/pianist Matt Simons pushes himself to grow beyond those influences to find his own voice and create his own sound. Often compared to Jamie Cullum, John Mayer and Adam Levine, Simons also infuses his piano based pop-rock with hints of jazz and R&B.
Much of 2011 was spent on tour. In addition to visiting most of the US, he ventured to the UK, Netherlands and Germany in support of his 2010 release, the EP Living Proof.

Intro -x2-: E Dbm Abm
Verse 1:
E
There's a place I go to
Dbm
where no one knows me
Abm
It's not lonely
E
It's a necessary thing
It's a place I made up
Dbm
Find out what I'm made of
Abm
The nights I stayed up
E
counting stars and fighting sleep
Pre-Chorus:
E Gbm
Let it wash over me
Abm
Ready to lose my feet
A E
Take me on to the place where one reveals life's mystery
Gbm
Steady on down the line
Abm
Lose every sense of time
A
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I'm blind to see
And find how far
E
to go
Chorus:
E Dbm
Everybody got their reason
Abm
Everybody got their way
A
We're just catching and releasing
E
what builds up throughout the day
Dbm
It gets into your body
Abm
And it flows right through your blood
A
We can tell eachother secrets
E
and remember how to love

Verse 2:
E
There's a place I'm going
Dbm
no one knows me
Abm
If I breathe real slowly
let it out and let it in
E
It can be terrifying
Dbm
to be slowly dying
Abm
Also clarifying
E
we end where we begin
Pre-Chorus:
E Gbm
Let it wash over me
Abm
Ready to lose my feet
