-1   1   2    3   -3*  -5
The sim-ple things in life 
-5  6  -5    5  -3  -2   2
Are a-round you ev-'ry-where 
 -1    2   -1   2    1
right out-side your door 
-1   2    -1    2   1  -5   -3
Why keep reach-ing for the moon? 
-1  1  2   3  -3* -5
An-oth-er day is here 
 -5   6  -5  5   -3  -2   2
There is hap-pi-ness to share, 
 -1   1   -1   2    1
look out-side your door 
-1   2    -1    2  -5   2   -2
And stop reach-ing for the moon. 
  -2     3  -2  -3  3  -3*  -3   4
There's life a-gain in lov-er's lane 
-3*   -5  -3  5  3  -3*  -3
and that's a ver-y good sign. 
  3   -3  3   -4   -3  4   -4   -5
We're on the track to wel-come back 
5  6 -3*  -5-3  5    3
a bit of "Auld Lang Syne" 
 -1    1  2    3   -3*   -5
That "Hel-lo neigh-bor" smile 
 -5  6  -5   5   -3  -2   2
Will be com-ing back in style 
-1  2   -1   2     1
So will wed-ding rings 
-1   2  -1   2    -5   2   -2
And the sim-ple things in life.
