Verse 1
Ab Ab 
 
Oh, if you love the life you live
Then you'll get a lot more done
Be more inclined to take the reins
Eb Eb 
 
And turn away and run
Ab Ab 
 
It's very rare,
Db Db 
 
it seems to get a lifetime guarantee
Ab Ab 
 
Eb Eb 
 
So I suppose self satisfaction be the key
Ab Ab 
 
My father is a wealthy, self made man
But his wealth does not consist
Eb Eb 
 
of riches or  acres of land
Db Db 
 
And instead he has a family
Ab Ab 
 
who are his biggest fans
Eb Eb 
 
That's something that I one day hope to have

Chorus 1
Db Db 
 
So I'll cherish the simple things
Ab Ab 
 
The easy took for granted things
Eb Eb 
 
Like going round my Mum's house
Ab Ab 
 
for my tea
Db Db 
 
And argue with my sister
Ab Ab 
 
Only God knows how I missed her
Eb Eb 
 
It's the simple things
Ab Ab 
 
that mean the most to me

Verse 2
Ab Ab 
 
Argh, he gets up  each day at five
Starts the car and makes the drive
Shutters up, starts the fryers
Eb Eb 
 
Ab Ab 
 
Serves out food to all the buyers in the town
As they stand there in the same old line
Db Db 
 
Get there every day at the same old time
Ab Ab 
 
No, you're never gonna hear him
grumble and groan
Eb Eb 
 
Cause they're the people in the line
that he built it on

Chorus 2
Db Db 
 
And like me he  cherished the simple things
Ab Ab 
 
The easy took for granted things
Eb Eb 
 
Like 1 going round his Mum's house
Ab Ab 
 
for his tea
Db Db 
 
And argue with his sister
Ab Ab 
 
Only God knows how he missed her
Eb Eb 
 
It's the simple things that mean the most to
