Would That It Were So Simple

E G#m E G#m Always thought it’d be best for me A Am To get by in life on my own, B A If only it were, so simple. E G#m Always thought I’d be self reliant A Am With nothing more than my charms B But sometimes my wiles, A they escape me. E Would that it were, G#m So, A Am Simple my dear boy. B We’d all live in a Luke Bryan song A Kissing tomorrow goodbye E In our own namesake bar. G#m A Am B A E After wandering round B all over town, A Wishing that someone Am Would take me on. B I learned in this town everyone just wants A to party. E Until I walked into G#m The Famous Saloon A Am Where I laid eyes on you, B A And thought “Here’s someone who understands yours truly." E Would that it were, G#m So A Am Simple my dear boy. B I’d of danced with you A time or two A While Luke Bryan sang “Drunk On You,” B Dosi-do and skip to my lou, A I’ll never find a better love E than I found with you. B A Am B A E Spoken (One part of telephone conversation) E Would that it were… N.C. So… A Am Simple my dear boy, B We’d “YEEHAW!” til our throats got sore A And we’ll never got to Broadway B A Any-MOOOOOOOOOOOO-ore. E G#m
