G
It's where we swam to, when I was younger
D
I remember how, you held me under
G
I was brand new, being underwater
D
But I'm stronger now, that I am a father
A
All the work is now, weight on my shoulders
D
'Bout the future, and how we're getting older
A
And it's funny now, seeing you around
D
Wearing that silly frown, it doesn't suit you
[Chorus]
F C
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
D E
How I wanna lead it
F C
I've been kinda thinking about the real world
D E
You welcome me to it
F Abm
I...I - I - I
[Verse 2]
D
It was a bad idea, bringing them here
G
Because they have shifty eyes
D
All they see is paradise
A
But I've got a home here, what I've worked for
D A
And it's over there that I get an answer that I want to hear
D
Not facts and figures about the atmosphere, how I could affect it
[Chorus]
F C
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
D E
How I wanna lead it
F C
I've been kinda thinking about the real world
D E
You welcome me to it
F Abm
I...I - I - I
C
[Bridge]
F E Am
With battle we fought up pavilion
C F E Am
Caused us to retreat three hundred miles to the safety of our New Brighton
C F
Where we treat a hundred-twenty
E Am C F
And with the front lines crossed, we slowly reveal no secrets at all
E Am C
We're just lonely boys with our submarine toys
[Chorus]
N/C C
And I've been kinda thinking about the simple life
D E
How I wanna lead it
F C
I've been kinda thinking about the real world
D E
You welcome me to it
F Abm
I...I - I - I
