[verse] E If you love the life you live then you'll get a lot more done B Be more inclined to take the reins than turn away and run E A It's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee E B So I suppose self satisfaction be the key E My father is a wealthy, self made man B But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land and A E Instead he has a family who are his biggest fans B That's something that I one day hope to have [chorus] A So I'll cherish the simple things E The easy took for granted things B E Like going round my Mum's house for my tea A And argue with my sister E Only God knows how I missed her B E It's the simple things that mean the most to me [verse] E Argh, he gets up each day at five starts the car and makes the drive Shutters up, starts the fryers B Serves out food to all the buyers E In the town as they stand there in the same old line A Get there every day at the same old time E No, you never hear him grumble and groan B Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on [chorus] A And like me he cherished the simple things E The easy took for granted things B E Like going round his Mum's house for his tea A And argue with his sister E Only God knows how he missed her B E It's the simple things that mean the most.... to him
