Would That It Were So Simple

E G#m

[Verse 1]
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.

[Chorus]
              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.

[Verse 2]
       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."

[Chorus]
              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.

[Chorus]
              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.
