[Intro]
Dmadd9        Dm               Cadd9  C
    For a long time I was in love
Dmadd9           Dm           Cadd9  C
   Not only in love, I was obsessed
Dmadd9      Dm             Cadd9         C
   With a friendship that no one else could touch
Dmadd9             Dm                 Cmaj9
   It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells
 
 
[Chorus]
C             C7/A#         F
   And all I wanted was the simple things
  A#                Cmaj7
A simple kind of life
C            C7/A#        F
   And all I needed was a simple man
   A#                Cmaj7
So I could be the wife
 
 
[Verse]
Dmadd9          Dm                 Cadd9  C
     I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
Dmadd9              Dm                Cadd9  C
     I don't know how it got to this point
     Dmadd9  Dm             Cadd9             C
Oh, I ......always was the one with all the love
Dmadd9        Dm                    Cadd9  C
   You came along, I'm hunting you down....ohh
 
 
[Chorus]
C             C7/A#      F
  Like a sick domestic abuser
A#                  Cmaj7
 Looking for a fight
C           C7/A#           F
  And all I wanted was the simple things
  A#                Cmaj7
A simple kind of life
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm        Dmmaj7       Dm7                Dm6
   If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Dm                 Dmmaj7              Dm7              Dm6
Would it start all over again? Would I try to make you mine?
Dmadd9         Dm              Cadd9  C
    I always thought, I'd be a mom
Dmadd9           Dm           Cadd9  C
    Sometimes I wish for a mistake
Dmadd9          Dm                   Cadd9            C
    The longer that I wait, the more selfish that I get
Dmadd9         Dm                     Cmaj9
    You seem like... you'd be a good dad
 
 
[Chorus]
C                C7/A#            F                 A#             Cmaj7
  Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
C                C7/A#          F
 In all I get so faithful to my freedom
  A#                 Cmaj7
A selfish kind of life
C                 C7/A#          F
 When all I ever wanted was the simple things
  A#                Cmaj7
A simple kind of life

                    Cmaj9
A simple kind of life
                    Cmaj9
A simple kind of life
                    F/C
A simple kind of life
                    Cmaj9

                    F/C

                    Cmaj9

A simple kind of life
                    Cmaj9
A simple kind of life
                    Cmaj9
A simple kind of life
              For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells

And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a 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

Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine? 

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

Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
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
