verse
E5 D5 A5
I prefer walking rather than
A5
running down the street,
E5 D5 A5
I prefer smiling rather than frowning
A5
at the people I might meet
E5 D5
If it were up to you would you
A5 A5
look at it the same? The same way that I do
E5
Don?t say you?d close your eyes,
D5
And have no voice of opinion
A5 A5
of what lies before you? I?d say shame on you
prechorus
E5 D5 A5
Cause I say wo----oah something's gotta give
A5
I need a simpler life to live,
E5 D5
Wo---------ah look into yourself
A5 A5
You best find a better way to measure wealth
chorus
E5 B5 D5 A5
Cause it's a simple life for a simple race,
E5 B5 D5 A5
beneath the stars is where we find our place
E5 B5 D5 A5
It's a simple love I'm gonna spread your way
E5 B5 D5 A5
it's a simple life just living it day to day.
E5 D5 A5 A5
I prefer climbing rather than falling from a tree
E5 D5 A5 A5
I prefer singing rather than whispering silently
E5 D5 A5
If it were up to you would you look at it the same?
A5
The same way that I do
E5
Don?t say you?d close your eyes,
D5
And have no voice of opinion
A5 A5
of what lies before you? I?d say shame on you
E5 D5 A5
Cause I say wo----oah something's gotta give
A5
I need a simpler life to live,
E5 D5
Wo---------ah look into yourself
A5 A5
You best find a better way to measure wealth
E5 B5 D5 A5
Cause it's a simple life for a simple race,
E5 B5 D5 A5
beneath the stars is where we find our place
E5 B5 D5 A5
It's a simple love I'm gonna spread your way
E5 B5 D5 A5
it's a simple life just living it day to day.

I prefer helping rather than acting helplessly
E5 E5 E5 D5 D5 D5 A5 AA5 A5 A5 A5
I prefer living ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
E5 D5 A5
If it were up to you would you look at it the same?
A5
The same way that I do
E5
Don?t say you?d close your eyes,

it's a simple life just living it day to day.
E5 B5 D5 A5
It's a simple life I'm gonna spread around,
E5 B5 D5 A5
it's a feeling of elation you could get me down
E5 B5 D5 A5
It's a simple world gonna make a stand
E5 B5
it's a simple life
D5 A5
just living it the best we can
