verse
E D A
I prefer walking rather than
A
running down the street,
E D A
I prefer smiling rather than frowning
A
at the people I might meet
E D
If it were up to you would you
A A
look at it the same? The same way that I do
E
Don?t say you?d close your eyes,
D
And have no voice of opinion
A A
of what lies before you? I?d say shame on you

Cause I say wo----oah something's gotta give

I need a simpler life to live,
