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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
In addition to the chords and the correct (!) lyrics I put a little tab.
This is not the "real" picking, for that there's an excellent tab already available.
It's really hard to do, though, since in the remix the guitar is even a little faster
than originally played.
So this is an "easy" tab to make it sound "like it" while still being playable for
"regular" guitarists.

There's a place I go to, where no one knows me

It's not lonely, it's a necessary thing

The nights I stayed up, counting stars and fighting sleep

So let it wash over me, I’m ready to lose my feet
F C
Take me on to the place where one reveals life's mystery
Dm Em
Steady on down the line, lose every sense of time

Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
F
Day to day I'm blind to see and find how far

Em C
we end where we begin
