Verse 1:
B                           Abm7
When I get up in the morning, put the kettle on
E                        Gb
Make us some coffee, say hey to the sun
B                           Abm7
Is it enough to write a song, and sing it to the birds
E                                            Gb
They'd hear just the tune, not understand my love for words
 
Chorus:
E                                Gb
But you would hear me and know

That I want to live this
          E
I want to live

I want to live a simple life
 
Verse 2:
B                      Abm7
I dreamed you first, but not so real
E                                     Gb
And every day since I found you, such moments we steal
B                 Abm7
Like little fields, we rub our hands
E                                  Gb
And hold our hearts between them
 
Chorus:
E                                Gb
But you would hear me and know
E                   Gb
That I want to live this

I want to live
          Gb             B    Abm7  E    E    Gb
I want to live a simple life
 
Bridge:
E        B        Abm7
Move on, move on, time is accelerating
E         B          Abm7
Drive on, all night, traffic lights and one ways
E        B       Abm7
Move on, move on parking violations waiting
E            Abm7             Gb
Turn off the car, breathe the air, let's stay here

Verse 3:
B                       Abm7

E                                      Gb             B
To know our neighbors all by name, and every star at night
                Abm7               E                       Gb
We'll weave our days together like waves, and particles of light
 
E              Gb
I want to live this

I want to live
          Gb             B
I want to live a simple life
