Intro 1

Verse 1
A 
People say They're
jealous of me
G 
Asking all the time how I can be so lucky
A 
And how they wish they'd
never kissed
The single life goodbye
And why
G 
They struggle every day
To keep from straying
A 
They want my life
E 
They call and me a crafty little devil
G 
They think I've got it made
A 
That my streets are
paved and golden
F#m 
G 
And I bath in sun rays every
D 
day

And everybody tell me

Bm 
A 
When you sleep
You sleep alone
G 
And you can roll right to the
centre of the bed
A 
And you don't have to have strength
For anybody else
G 
And you never have to shout
To defend yourself
A 
E 
You can eat cake and even ice cream
G 
And you can stay out really late
A 
And you can bring home someone
F#m 
A 
To make you feel special
G 
But it's for a few hours
D 
Then they go away
F#m 
And everybody tell me

my life for me
D 
When I see two people
Bm 
They look crazy in love

A little bit of heaven

Free and single sounds

A 
C#m 
my life for me
Don't obsess
E 
But I'm looking real hard
It's a spice that I'm missing
From the ingredients
E 
I got freedom
And the money that I work for every day
A 
Could buy me a colour
E 
But it won't buy me a body
I can feel the language
The language of love
That's so universal
Everybody gets to speak it
When they fall in love
That's the end of lonely nights
And
E 
Single life
