Intro: C    Am7  F     F     G
 
 
Verse 1:
C                           Am7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
F                        G
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
C                           Am7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
F                                            G
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words
 
Chorus:
F                                G
But you would hear me and know
F                   G
That I want to live this
          F
I want to live
          G             C    Am7  F    F    G
I want to live a simple life
 
Verse 2:
C                      Am7
I dreamed you first, but not so real
F                                     G
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
C                 Am7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
F                                  G
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
F                                G
But you would hear me and know
F                   G
That I want to live this
          F
I want to live
          G             C    Am7  F    F    G
I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
F        C        Am7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
F         C          Am7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
F        C       Am7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
F            Am7             G
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here
 
Interlude -x2-: C    Am7   F     F     G
 
Verse 3:
C                       Am7
I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time
F                                      G             C
To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Am7               F                       G
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
 
F              G
I want to live this
          F
I want to live
          G             C
I want to live a simple life
F              G
I want to live this
          F
I want to live
           G            C     Am7   F    F    G
I want to live a simple life
