[Verse 1]
G                           C      G
We could be the talk of the town tonight
G                            C       G
Carry home your shoes in the morning light
G
Or we could just stay here a while
C        G         D/F#  G
 Wrapped up in the quiet life

[Verse 2]
G                     C   G
We could sail away to Tobago
G                      C   G
Fly across the Gulf of Mexico
G
Or we could just stay here a while
C        G         D/F#  G
 Wrapped up in the quiet life

[Chorus]
C       G                   C      G
Now and then I'm loving the world again
    C       G                  D/F#      G   C G  G C G
And I'll be fine living in the quiet, in life


[Verse 3]
G                         C     G
We could get a job on the movie screen
G                       C   G
Smile on the cover of a magazine
G
Or we could just be man and wife
C      G      D/F#  G
 Happy in the quiet life

[Verse 4]
G                         C     G
Where the clock don't move so quick
G                         C     G
Where the water don't make you sick
G
Traffic don't keep you up at night
C      G      D/F#  G
Here in the quiet life

[Chorus]
C       G                   C      G
Now and then I'm loving the world again
    C       G                  D/F#      G
And I'll be fine living in the quiet, in life

[Outro]
C             G     D/F#
Living in the quiet life
G             G/F# C
Sleeping by a firelight
C             G        D/F#
Maybe I could make you smile
N.C.          G   C G  G C G
In the quiet life
G                           C    G
We could be the talk of the town tonight
