corrected as of Feb 9, 2001
thanx to Taylor Slink for correction of chorus

=================================================================
Note: this is my first effort at sharing with others, so please
bear with me.  the chords i'm using may not be exactly right, so
feel free to correct me. My friends think it sounds the same.
=================================================================

I've put the chords above the lyrics.

Dsus2       Dm               Cadd9,10       C
(short intro no vocal)

----------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE:
Dsus2       Dm               Cadd9,10       C
For a long time    I was in  love
Dsus2       Dm               Cadd9,10       C
Not only in love   I was     obsessed

Dsus2       Dm               Cadd9,10           C
with a     friendship that   no one else could touch
Dsus2       Dm               Cadd9,10    C7
it didn't  work out I'm covered in       shells.
----------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS:
C          Cdom7        F             Fm              C7       C
and all i wanted was a simple thing a simple kind of  life
C          Cdom7        F             Fm              C7
and all i needed was a simple man  so i could be a   wife
----------------------------------------------------------------

(repeat same pattern for next verse and chorus)

VERSE 2:
i'm so ashamed, i've been so mean
i dont' know how it got to this point
oh i always was the one with all the love
you came along, i'm hunting you down ohhhhh

CHORUS 2:
like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight... oh
and all i wanted was the simple things a simple kinda life

----------------------------------------------------------------
Next is the bridge part, in which the chords are arpeggiated,
rather than being strummed.

BRIDGE:
Dsus2               Dm7*             Ddom7add9*  D/E*(top 4 only)
ohhhh-oh if we met tomorrow for the very first   time
Dsus2                   Dm7*          Ddom7add9*  D/E(top 4 only)
would it start all over again would i try to make you mine
(Note by "top 4" i mean higher in pitch)

----------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3:
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 3:
now all the simple things are simply too complicated for my life
and how'd i get so faithful to my freedom.. a selfish kinda life

----------------------------------------------------------------
OUTRO:
C               Cdom7        F              Fm             C7
when all i ever wanted was a simple thing a simple kind of life
                C7
a simple kinda life
                C7
a simple kinda life

repeat and vary the chords, using the C7, C combos; i think once
or twice it goes back into the D thing, but i believe it ends on
Cadd9,10. I just ad-lib it and i never play it as many times as
it's actually played on the album because she sings it 20 times
or something.

================================================================
THE CHORDS:

Dsus2     Dm     Cadd9,10     C         C7     Cdom7

=================================================================

well, it's a start, at least. please make corrections if anyone
feels like it.
