Gb                           Ebm7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
B                        Db
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
Gb                           Ebm7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
B                                            Db
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words

I dreamed you first, but not so real
B                                     Db
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
Gb                 Ebm7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
B                                  Db
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
B                                Db

B                   Db
That I want to live this

I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
B        Gb        Ebm7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
B         Gb          Ebm7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
B        Gb       Ebm7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
B            Ebm7             Db
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here

To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Ebm7               B                       Db
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
