E If you love the life you live, Then you'll get a lot more done Be more inclined to take the reins B Than turn away and run E A it's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee, E B So I suppose self satisfaction be the key E My father is a wealthy, self made man B But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land A E Instead he has a family who are His biggest fans B that's something that I one day hope to have A So I'll cherish the simple things E The easy took for granted things B E Like going round my Mum's house for my tea A And argue with my sister, E Only God knows how I missed her B E it's the simple things that mean the most to me Argh, he gets up each day at five Starts the car and makes the drive Shutters up, starts the fryers Serves out food to all the buyers in the town As they stand there in the same old line Get there every day at the same old time No, you never hear him grumble and groan Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on And like me he cherished the simple things The easy took for granted Things like going round his Mum's house for his tea And argue with his sister Only God knows how he missed her It's the simple things that mean the most to... me You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA E B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
