For a long time, I was in love.

It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells.

And all I needed was a simple man, so I could be the wife.

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.

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 .... ... .. . ..
