Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
G D Em C
[Verse 1]
G C
Turned off my phone today, stuck it in the drawer
G D
It's too loud inside this empty house so I walked out the door
G C
Surrounded by what God had made, I couldn't help but stare
G D
I need a little face to face time with the man upstairs
Em D C
Looking at my life, it's time to make a change
Am7 G C
So, I'm gonna spend my day slowing down the pace
[Chorus]
G C G
I got breath to breathe, a heart that beats
D
And a life that's full of simple things
C D
And a little piece of Heaven right here in front of me
G C G
I got a truck that runs, a dog that hunts
D
With a good old fashion woman's love
C D
Might not be much but it's all I'll ever need
Em D C
And you don't have to understand this life I lead
G
Just trying to live, it is what it is
D G D Em C
And what it is, is good enough for me
[Verse 2]
G C
Seems like when I hit my knees, I just ask for more
G D
Always praying for the next best thing, 'stead of what I'm thankful for
G C
Kneeling by my bed last night the good Lord spoke to me
G
He said son what do you lack
D C
Look around, tell me what you see, and now I see
[Chorus]
G C G
I got breath to breathe, a heart that beats
D
And a life that's full of simple things
C D
And a little piece of Heaven right here in front of me
G C G
I got a truck that runs, a dog that hunts
D
With a good old fashion woman's love
C D
Might not be much but it's all I'll ever need
Em D C
And you don't have to understand this life I lead
G
Just trying to live, it is what it is
D Em
And what it is, is good enough for me
[Guitar Solo]
Em C G D
[Outro]
Em D C
You don't have to understand this life I lead
G
Just trying to live, it is what it is
D G D Em C G
And what it is, is good enough for me
