Em
Life today is frittered away
               G     Gsus4  G
You've got to simplify
     Em
Each in our own way, we live for today
     G          Gsus4  G
And never know why

Chorus:
G
To stand in the road
     G7
And feel the wind blow
            C           Am
Across the sands of time
                   G      D
'Cause that's the simple life
      C               D7      G
You know I'd like to make it mine

Take your cars and your bars
And trade 'em all in for a nice wood fire
At the end of the day I know you will say
You couldn't get much higher

Chorus:
G
To stand in the road
     G7
And feel the wind blow
            C           Am
Across the sands of time
                   G      D
'Cause that's the simple life
      C               D7      G  D
You know I'd like to make it mine
      C               D7      G  D
You know I'd like to make it mine
      C               D7      Em C Am G
You know I'd like to make it mine
