Intro: G    Em7  C     C     D
 
 
Verse 1:
G                           Em7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
C                        D
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
G                           Em7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
C                                            D
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words
 
Chorus:
C                                D
But you would hear me and know
C                   D
That I want to live this
          C
I want to live
          D             G    Em7  C    C    D
I want to live a simple life
 
Verse 2:
G                      Em7
I dreamed you first, but not so real
C                                     D
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
G                 Em7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
C                                  D
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
C                                D
But you would hear me and know
C                   D
That I want to live this
          C
I want to live
          D             G    Em7  C    C    D
I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
C        G        Em7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
C         G          Em7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
C        G       Em7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
C            Em7             D
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here

Verse 3:
G                       Em7
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
C                                      D             G
To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Em7               C                       D
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
 
C              D
I want to live this
          C
I want to live
          D             G
I want to live a simple life
C              D
I want to live this
          C
I want to live
           D            G     Em7   C    C    D
I want to live a simple life
