Am7
It was a cloudy day
D7
Stuck in a traffic jam
Gmaj7
Swamped on a busy street
Bm
Noise feeling like a clam
Am7
Already on the edge
D7
A steamer on the rise
Gmaj7
The driver smiles at me
Bm
And says


[Chorus]
                 Am7
Life could be so simple
               D7
Taking the day away
                     Gmaj7
Making time for some loving
                 Em7
Put your song on replay
                   Am7
Watching an old-time movie
                      D7
Follow the clouds go by
                 Gmaj7
And drift in the sky
Bm


[Verse 2]
                        Am7
Things'll never fit 'to place
                 D7
If you stay so uptight
                     Gmaj7
Just drop off your pretense
              Bm
To make them right
                      Am7
So when you get a bad day
                       D7
And things turn to the worst
               Gmaj7
Remember his words
Bm


[Chorus]
                 Am7
Life could be so simple
               D7
Taking the day away
                     Gmaj7
Making time for some loving
                 Em7
Put your song on replay
                   Am7
Watching an old-time movie
                      D7
Follow the clouds go by
                 G7
And drift in the sky
Bm


[Chorus]
                 Am7
Life could be so simple
               D7
Taking the day away
                     Gmaj7
Making time for some loving
                 Em7
Put your song on replay
                   Am7
Watching an old-time movie
                      D7
Follow the clouds go by
                 Gmaj7
And drift in the sky
Bm
