Tom: D5

Intro: D5   F7*   C5   C5    (1 time)


VERSE 1:  (Play just like the intro)
D5         F7*             C5    C5
     For a long time, I was in love.
D5             F7*           C5    C5
     Not only in love, I was obsessed.
D5          F7*              C5                  C5
     With a friendship that, no one else could touch.
D5                 F7*                  C5   C5
     It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells.

CHORUS:
C5          C5             F5                 Bb5                  C5
 And all I wanted was the simple things, a simple kind of life.
C5         C5            F5             Bb5              C5
 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)

(That sounds good to me, look at the chords above to see where played while singing)
D5  F7*           C5              Bb5   D5       F7*                        C5           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 .... ... .. . ..
