Verse 1:
Bb                           Gm7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
Eb                        F
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
Bb                           Gm7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
Eb                                            F
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words
 
Chorus:
Eb                                F
But you would hear me and know
Eb                   F
That I want to live this
          Eb
I want to live
          F             Bb    Gm7  Eb    Eb    F
I want to live a simple life
 
Verse 2:
Bb                      Gm7
I dreamed you first, but not so real
Eb                                     F
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
Bb                 Gm7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
Eb                                  F
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
Eb                                F
But you would hear me and know
Eb                   F
That I want to live this
          Eb
I want to live
          F             Bb    Gm7  Eb    Eb    F
I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
Eb        Bb        Gm7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
Eb         Bb          Gm7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
Eb        Bb       Gm7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
Eb            Gm7             F
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here

Verse 3:
Bb                       Gm7
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
Eb                                      F             Bb
To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Gm7               Eb                       F
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
 
Eb              F
I want to live this
          Eb
I want to live
          F             Bb
I want to live a simple life
Eb              F
I want to live this

I want to live

I want to live a simple life
