* I could not find the names to these three chords...sorry I'm a little new to
tabbing but they are easy to play in the context of the song and just sound right *
INTRO/VERSE 1
Dsus2 D Cadd2 C (play once for intro)
Dsus2 D Cadd2 C
For a long time, I was in love....
Not only in love, I was obsessed...
With a friendship that no one else could touch
PRECHORUS 1
Dsus2 D Cadd2 Cdrop3*
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells
CHORUS
C C7 F Fdrop1* Cdrop3*
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
VERSE 2
same chords as 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
PRECHORUS 2
same chords as prechorus1
You came along, I'm hunting you down
CHORUS
same chords as chorus 1
Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted the simple things, a simple kind of life
BRIDGE
(fingerpick this 2x)
e--------0------1------0------0----------------------------------
B------2------2------3------0------------------------------------
G----3------2------2------1--------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------
If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again, would i try to make you mine?
VERSE 3
same chords as verses 2 and 1
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
PRECHORUS 3
same chords as prechoruses 2 and 1
You seem like (stop playing) you'd be a good (start loud where you would have been) dad
CHORUS 3
same chords as chouruses 2 and 1, play 3 times though
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
OUTRO
I know you can hear the melody in the distant background, but i just let the chord ring each
time she says "simple kind of life" and I use this pattern:
Cdrop3* C Cdrop3* C D D D D Cdrop3* (keep playing Cdrop3* but fade)
That's it! It's not a hard song but it's a lot of fun to play.
