Formed in 1986 in Anaheim, California, United States as a ska punk band inspired by Madness, the lineup of No Doubt initially comprised John Spence as lead vocal, Gwen Stefani on back-up vocals, and her brother Eric Stefani on keyboards. While playing the party-band circuit around Anaheim, the trio picked up bassist Tony Kanal. Hardened by the suicide of Spence in December 1987, No Doubt nevertheless continued; Gwen became the lone vocalist and the group added guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young.

[Intro] Dsus2DmCmaj7C x1
[Verse] Dsus2DmCmaj7C For a long time I was in love
Dsus2DmCmaj7C Not only in love, I was obsessed
Dsus2DmCmaj7C With a friendship that no one else could touch
Dsus2DmCmaj7C It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells
[Chorus] CC7F And all I wanted was the simple things
BbCmaj7C A simple kind of life
CC7F And all I needed was a simple man
Bb So I could be the wife
[Verse] I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean I don't know how it got to this point I always was the one with all the love You came along, I'm hunting you down
[Chorus] Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight And all I wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life
DmC#CB If we met tomorrow for the very first time
DmC#CB Would it start all over again? Would I try to make you mine?
[Verse] 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] Now all those simple things are simply too Complicated for my life How'd I get so faithful to my freedom? When all I ever wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life
