[Intro]
C  G  Am  F
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C              G
If we could be anywhere,
      Am           F
Where would it be?
C            G
Take what we need,
    Am         F
And disappear.
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                     G
If we can haul in the ladder,
    Am           F
For someone else,
C               G
I know that one day,
     Am         F
Will never come.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                G/B
Let’s steal you away,
Am         F
To an open field,
C                 G
We can lie on the grass,
Am            F     C G C
Let our souls free.
 
 
[Chorus]
C     G
All I want,
          Am         F
Is just a simple life,
  C           G/B
A little more time,
    Am
For you and I.
         F
Lay your arms on the horizon and sing,
C       G    Am  F
Yea . . eh
C       G/B  Am  F
Yea . . eh
 
 
[Verse 3]
C              G
If we could be free,
                      Am    F
Slumbering under the leaves,
C              G/B
Soaking up the sun,
                 Am    F
Swaying like the trees.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                G/B
Let’s steal you away,
Am         F
To an open field,
C                 G/B
We can lie on the grass,
Am            F
Let our souls free.
 
 
[Chorus]
C     G
All I want,
          Am         F
Is just a simple life,
  C           G/B
A little more time,
    Am
For you and I.
F                    C   F   C  G
Lay your arms on the horizon singing,
C       G
Yea . . eh,
 Am      F
(Yea . . eh),
C       G        Am
Yea . . eh, eeh, eeh,
 Am      F
(Yea . . eh),
F
Singing,
C       G
Yea . . eh,
 Am      F
(Yea . . eh),
C       G        Am
Yea . . eh, eeh, eeh,
 Am      F
(Yea . . eh).
 
 
[Outro]
C     G
All I want,
          Am          F 
Is just a simple life,
  C           G 
A little more time,
    Am       G  F
For you and I.
C      G     Am  F
Ooooh, ooooh,
C      G           Am  G  F  G
Ooooh, ooooh, ooh, ooh,
C
              Everyplace I go
Is blurring into one
I just wanna stop
And catch my breath
But it takes too long

I think I'll buy a ticket
To some empty space
Where I can clear
The traffic from my head
And feel the sun
But it takes too long

I don't have time for this
The simple life is never
Where I think it is
I don't have time for this
The simple life is lost in everyday
I'm rushing through

I try to find some peace
Down by the riverside
Where I can feel
The ground beneath my feet
But it takes too long

A holy man is reaching out
His hand to me
He says there's
An oasis in my eyes
But he must be wrong
It takes too long

I don't have time for this
The simple life is never
Where I think it is
I don't have time for this
The simple life was lost when
All the fools came rushing in
The simple life was
Lost in everyday

I don't have time

Everyplace I go
Is blurring into one
I just wanna stop
