Tom: D9 Intro: D9 F7* Cadd2 C (1 time) VERSE 1: (Play just like the intro) D9 F7* Cadd2 C For a long time, I was in love. D9 F7* Cadd2 C Not only in love, I was obsessed. D9 F7* Cadd2 C With a friendship that, no one else could touch. D9 F7* C7+ C It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells. CHORUS: C C7 F Bb5 C7+ And all I wanted was the simple things, a simple kind of life. C C7 F Bb5 C7+ And all I needed was a simple man, so I could be the wife. VERSE 2: (Play like verse 1) I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean. I don't know how it got to this point. I always was, the one with all the love. You came along, I'm hunting you down. CHORUS: (Play like first chorus) Like a sick, domestic abuser, looking for a fight. And all I wanted was the simple things, a simple kind of life. BRIDGE: (I'm gonna try my best to transcribe the hard-to-hear picking. I t's close enough to deal with it) D9 F7* Cadd2 Bb5 E|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------| G|----2--------------2-----------2------------------2----| D|-0-----3-----0--3-----3-----------3------------3-------| A|----------------------------3--------3-----1-----------| E|-------------------------------------------------------| (That sounds good to me, look at the chords above to see where played while singing) D9 F7* Cadd2 Bb5 D9 F7* Cadd2 Bb5 If we met tomorrow for the very first time. Would it start all over again? Would I try to make you mine? VERSE 3: (Play like other verses. Start strumming again) I always thought, I'd be a mom. Sometimes I wish, for a mistake. The longer that I wait, the more selfish that I get. You seem like, you'd be a good dad. CHORUS: (Play like other choruses) Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life. And how'd I get so faithful to my freedom? A selfish kind of life. When all I ever wanted was the simple things. A simple kind of life. A simple kind of life, a simple kind of life.. ... . .. . .. .. a simple kind of life .... ... .. . ..
