Intro: E    Dbm7  A     A     B
 
 
Verse 1:
E                           Dbm7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
A                        B
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
E                           Dbm7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
A                                            B
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words
 
Chorus:
A                                B
But you would hear me and know
A                   B
That I want to live this
          A
I want to live
          B             E    Dbm7  A    A    B
I want to live a simple life
 
Verse 2:
E                      Dbm7
I dreamed you first, but not so real
A                                     B
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
E                 Dbm7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
A                                  B
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
A                                B
But you would hear me and know
A                   B
That I want to live this
          A
I want to live
          B             E    Dbm7  A    A    B
I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
A        E        Dbm7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
A         E          Dbm7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
A        E       Dbm7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
A            Dbm7             B
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here
 
Interlude (x2): E    Dbm7   A     A     B
 
Verse 3:
E                       Dbm7
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
A                                      B             E
To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Dbm7               A                       B
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
 
A              B
I want to live this
          A
I want to live
          B             E
I want to live a simple life
A              B
I want to live this
          A
I want to live
           B            E     Dbm7   A    A    B
