Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Above  the traffic noise and fights
 Can you hear me? I'm standing right next to you
 As the crowds pour out on a cold,  cold night
 There's a place we can go. There's a place where we both can hide.
 And we'll stay  quite still
 We wont  make a sound
 We'll turn out the lights
 We'll turn out the lights
 Then we'll leave  and dissapear into the night
 We'll turn out the lights
 We just want a simple life
 We'll turn out the lights
 Please turn out the lights
 On down the road we walk alone
 Can you see me? I'm scared that I'm losing you
 As the crowds press on through the cold, cold night
 There's a place we can go
 There's a place where we both can hide
 All the vows we made, I'd  make them all again
 I gave my promise  and the life  we had is sacred
 I wouldn't lie to you, I could  not lie to you
 Turn it up, we'll leave  the noise behind
 So turn out the lights
 Please turn out the lights

Readable chord sheet for A Simple Life by Philip Selway

[C]Above the traffic noise and figh[F]ts

[Ab]     Can you hear me?  I'm standing right next to [C]you

As the crowds pour out on a col[F]d, cold night

[Ab]     There's a place we can go.  There's a place where we both can hi[Eb]de.

And we'll s[Ab]tay quite still

We w[C]ont make a sound

We'll turn out the li[Ab]ghts

We'll turn out the lig[Eb]hts

Then we'll le[Ab]ave and dissapear into the ni[C]ght

We'll turn out the li[Ab]ghts

We just want a simple li[F]fe

We'll turn out the lig[Ab]hts

Please turn out the ligh[Eb]ts

On down the road we walk alone
Can you see me?  I'm scared that I'm losing you
As the crowds press on through the cold, cold night
There's a place we can go
There's a place where we both can hide

[Ab]    All the vows we made, I[C]'d make them all again

[Ab]   I gave my p[G]romise and the [F]life we had is sacred

[Ab]   I wouldn't lie to you, I cou[C]ld not lie to you

[Ab]   Turn it up, we'll le[G]ave the noise behi[C]nd

So turn out the lig[Ab]hts

Please turn out the li[Eb]ghts
