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

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

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

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