[Verse]
D D7 G *
I do like a simple song
D D7 G *
Where everyone can sing along
D D7 G *
It doesn't matter where you're from
D D7 G *
Most people like a simple song

[Verse]
D D7 G *
It sure is good to fall in love
D D7 G *
Feels like a gift from up above
D D7 G *
Can't seem to ever get enough, yeah
D D7 G *
It sure is cool to fall in love

[Chorus]
C C/B D D7
But things don't often stay the same
G * C C C/B
She says she wants to give you back your name
C C/B G D D7
It's never simple who's to blame
G * C C C/B
And it always gets so complicated

[Verse]
D D7 G *
One day you wake up on your own
D D7 G *
If I had kids they'd all be grown
D D7 G *
Of all the people I have known
D D7 G *
True friends there's not too many

[Chorus]
C C/B D D7
But I don't want to bring you down
G * C C C/B
And I still get to play from town to town
C C/B G D D7
There still is magic all around
G * C C C/B
And when I hit the ground I'm running

[Verse]
D D7 G *
But I don't want to die alone
D D7 G *
Where I cannot reach the phone
D D7 G *
In my multi-story home
D D7 G *
No I don't want to die alone

[Chorus]
C C/B D D7
It's not preyin' on my mind
G * C C C/B
But I do think about it from time to time
C C/B G D D7
And it's not likely to happen soon
G * C C C/B
But you may not even see it coming

[Verse]
D D7 G *
So help me sing this simple song
D D7 G *
Where everyone can sing along
D D7 G *
It doesn't matter where you're from
D D7 G
One day we're here and then we're gone
