Verse 1:
(E) F#M D
A hand upon my forehead,

the joking and the laugh

Waking up in your arms,
(D) A E
a place to call my own

(E) F#M D
This is all I ever wanted from life

Ireland in the World Cup
(D) A E
either North or South
(E) F#M D
The fan club on the jukebox,
(D) A E
the birds and yes the bees
Chorus:
(E) F#M D
This is all I ever wanted from life,
(D) A E
this is all I ever wanted from life
(E) F#M D
This is all I ever wanted from life

but only if they're true

Just some simple kindness,

no vengeance from the gods

some kids eventually

a father like my dad

(both the last two bars sound the same, they're just different ways of playing them..
choose the easiest for you)
Tip: If you've got small hands or prefer not to stretch, you might want to put a capo on
at 5 or play the second version of the last bar. This is just so that you don't have to
keep stretching down and can play the
strings open instead (with a capo this obviously means you can't play the chords though).
A hand upon my forehead
A joke and then a laugh
Waking up in your arms
A place to call my own
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
Ireland in the World Cup
Either North or South
The fan club on the jukebox
The birds and yes the bees
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
Words of reassurance
But only if they're true
Just some simple kindness

No vengeance from the Gods
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
To share what I've been given
Some kids eventually
And (?) than what I've had
A father like my dad
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
This is all I ever wanted from life
