Verse 1:
F                           Dm7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
Bb                        C
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
F                           Dm7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
Bb                                            C
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words
 
Chorus:
Bb                                C
But you would hear me and know
Bb                   C
That I want to live this
          Bb
I want to live
          C             F    Dm7  Bb    Bb    C
I want to live a simple life
 
Verse 2:
F                      Dm7
I dreamed you first, but not so real
Bb                                     C
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
F                 Dm7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
Bb                                  C
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
Bb                                C
But you would hear me and know
Bb                   C
That I want to live this
          Bb
I want to live
          C             F    Dm7  Bb    Bb    C
I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
Bb        F        Dm7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
Bb         F          Dm7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
Bb        F       Dm7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
Bb            Dm7             C
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here

Verse 3:
F                       Dm7
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
Bb                                      C             F
To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Dm7               Bb                       C
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
 
Bb              C
I want to live this
          Bb
I want to live
          C             F
I want to live a simple life
Bb              C
I want to live this
