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
