Thank's predrolyse for the lyrics.
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
DM7 A Aaug
i wish i was a man of simple means
DM7 A Aaug
of nights spent in, of cold baked beans
Bm E
the constant scare of broken dreams
A D A
oh for the life of a cat
[Verse 2]
DM7 A Aaug
i wish i was a man of basic needs
DM7 A Aaug
of soft no thanks, polite yes please
Bm E
of just one mood and just two speeds
A D A
the slow and the stops of a cat
[Chorus]
Bm E A
we got cctv across the sky satellites above
Bm E A
we got wandering hands and roving eye but we cannot find real love
A/G# F#m A F#m A
we've got cia and fbi mi5 and more
F#m A D Dm
but still we cannot find the key to open eases door
A
to open eases door
[Bridge]
E Esus A
when did life get so complicated, 18 or 21
E Esus A
when did we wake up to find the simple life had gone
A/G# F#m A F#m A
was it school or place of work that took simplicity by the throat
F#m A D Dm
i shook until the answers drop like cards from dead man's coat
A
like cards from dead man's coat
[Verse 3]
DM7 A Aaug
how i wish for country walk
DM7 A Aaug
the song and dance of child talk
Bm E
the spider's web, the name in chalk
A D A
oh for a life like that.
