Verse 1:
D                           Bm7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
G                        A
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
D                           Bm7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
G                                            A
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words
 
Chorus:
G                                A
But you would hear me and know
G                   A
That I want to live this
          G
I want to live
          A             D    Bm7  G    G    A
I want to live a simple life
 
Verse 2:
D                      Bm7
I dreamed you first, but not so real
G                                     A
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
D                 Bm7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
G                                  A
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
G                                A
But you would hear me and know
G                   A
That I want to live this
          G
I want to live
          A             D    Bm7  G    G    A
I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
G        D        Bm7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
G         D          Bm7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
G        D       Bm7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
G            Bm7             A
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here

Verse 3:
D                       Bm7
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
G                                      A             D
To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Bm7               G                       A
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
 
G              A
I want to live this
          G
I want to live
          A             D
I want to live a simple life
G              A
I want to live this
          G
I want to live
           A            D     Bm7   G    G    A
I want to live a simple life
