[Verse 1]
C F C
I've never liked the city, there’s somethin' 'bout those sounds
G
Will make a young man crazy, and bring an old man down
C F C
So, if you want the country, a simple life will do
C
Just call me Mr. Simple
G C
Livin’ simple with you
[Chorus]
F C
And we can get back to the basics
F C
Like we were meant to do
G Am G F G
'Cause there's a thin line with what the world tells you and what's really true
C F Am
Why complicate it when it's so easy to do?
C Am
Just call me Mr. Simple, girl
F G C F
Livin' simple with you
[Verse 2]
C F C
Well, I never liked the ocean, it's never been my thing
G
I'll take higher ground, and you can keep them hurricanes
C F C
But if you had a boat, set to sail the ocean blue
G C
I’d put on a captain’s hat, and I'd go sail around with you
[Chorus]
F C
And we can get back to the basics
F C
Like we were meant to do
G Am G F G
'Cause there's a thin line with what the world tells you and what's really true

Just call me Mr. Simple, girl
F G Am
Livin' simple with you
[Guitar Solo]
C F Am C F
That's the sound
[Bridge]
Am G
A hundred miles to the nearest road
C
Nowhere to be, nowhere to go
F G
Just you and me soakin' up that sunset gold
F G
Drinkin' that beer, ice-cold (Ice-cold)
F G
Always got a hand to hold
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, we can get back to the basics
F C
Like we were meant to do
G Am G F G
'Cause there's a thin line with what the world tells you and what's really true
