: Complicated

<i>No capo</i>

Intro: Dm Bb 
Uh 
F 
huh, 
C 
life's like this

Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

1. F 
Chill out, what you yellin' for?

Dm 
Lay back, it's all been done before

Bb 
And if you could only 
C 
let it be

You would see

I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talkin' to me one-on-one
But you've become…

Pre: Bb 
Somebody else 'round everyone else

You're Dm 
watchin' your back like you can't relax

You're Bb 
tryin' to be cool

You look like a fool to C 
me

Tell me
Ch: Dm 
Why'd you have to go and make 
Bb 
things so complica
F 
ted?

C 
see the way you're actin' like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated
Life's like this
You, and you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into Gm 
honesty

You promised me I'm never gonna find you Bb 
fake it

No, no, F 
no


2. F 
You come over unannounced

Dm 
Dressed up like you're somethin' else

Bb 
Where you are and where it's 
C 
at, you see

You're makin' me

Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know, you're not foolin' anyone
When you become

Pre: 

Ch: 

Bridge: Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see…

Ch:

nose,

They had a C5 
problem with his baggy clothes.
Chorus

F5 
He was a 
C5

Bb5 
later boy,

He wasn't A5 
good enough for her

She needed A5 
to come back down 
Bb5 
to earth
Verse

D5 
Five years from

Feeding the Bb5

Skater boy C5 
rockin' up MTV.

D5 
She calls up her 
A5 
friends, they already 
B5 
know,

They've all got Bb5 
tickets to see his show.

She tags 
A5 
along, and stands in the

Looks up at the man C5 
that she turn dooowwnnnn.
Chorus

F5 
He was a 
C5 
skater boy, she said see ya 
Bb5 
later boy,

He wasn't A5

F5 
Now he's a 
C5 
superstar, slammin' on his 
Bb5 
guitar

Does your pretty A5 
face see what he's worth?

F5 
He was a 
C5

He wasn't A5

We are more than just good 
Bb5 
friends,

This is A5 
how the story 
D5 
ends.

D5 
Too bad that you couldn't 
F5 
see,

F5 
See the man that boy could 
C5 
be.

C5 
There is more than meets the 
Bb5 
eye,

I see the A5 
soul that is 
D5 
inside.
Verse

D5 
He's just 
A5 
a boy, and I'm just a 
B5 
girl,

Can I make it Bb5

How we C5 
rock each other's world?
