[Intro]
       C         Am7         Dm7         G7x2
[Verse 1]
 CPull my cap over my Am7noggin' Dm7to keep my ears from the G7cold and people talking
 CIt's a cold and blustery Am7evening, Dm7and I'd rather stay inG7side
 CStare at the picture on the Am7mantelpiece, Dm7the people there don't have a G7care,
don't need to be anywhere
 CAh the frame will let them Am7live in peace, Dm7Live in G7peace,   Singing…
[Chorus]
 CLalalalala, Am7Lalalalala, Dm7Lalalalala, G7Life is sweet
[Instrumental]
C       Am7       Dm7       G7
[Verse 2]
 CWouldn't it be nice if we could Am7lay there, Dm7where the waves meet the G7rocks in wispy air?
 CAnd I'd run my fingers Am7through your hairDm7, and you'd cradle G7me
 CBut you're up north surrounded in Am7concrete, and I'm Dm7lost in a forest of G7dead leaves
 CThe whole world's moving in Am7tsunami, and we're just Dm7pebbles deposited on the G7beach,    Singing…
[Chorus]
 CLalalalala, Am7Lalalalala, Dm7Lalalalala, G7Life is sweet
 CLalalalala, Am7Lalalalala, Dm7Lalalalala, G7Life is sweet

 CSo I close the door beAm7hind me, but I'm
Dm7dreaming of the picture and all the G7colours of the world I could have Cused
And I've conscripted to the Am7army, Dm7of the everyG7day
 CI've stepped on board of this bandAm7wagon, and I Dm7can't get off until it G7stops again
 CIt's gonna take a while beAm7fore then, so I Dm7guess I'll just enjoy the G7ride,    Singing…
