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

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

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

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