COMPLICATED
As recorded by Gareth
(2025 release)


Capo 3rd fret


Verse 1
G
Chill out, watch and yelling fool
Em7
Lay back, it’s all been done before
C                     D
And if you could only let it be
D
You’ll see
G
I like you the way you are
Em7
When we’re driving in your car
C                        D
And you’re talking to me one on one


Pre-Chorus
                  C
But you’ve become somebody else
C
Round everyone else
       Em7
You’re watching your back
Em7
Like you can’t relax
    C
You try to be cool
                        D
You look like a fool to me


Chorus
        Em7                           C               G
Tell me why’d you have to go and make things so complicated
  D                  Em7                         C
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else
            G       D
Gets me frustrated, lies like it is you
Em7                 C
You’re fool, you’re cruel, you’re brave
         G                 D
You take what you get, you turn it into
Am7                                                   C
Honesty, you promised me you’re never gonna find your fake it
        G
No, no, no


Verse 2
G
You come over unannounced
Em7
Dressed up like you’re something else
C
Where you aren’t aware
     D
It’s sad to see you making me
G
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Em7
Take off all your preppy clothes
C                           D
You know you’re not fooling anyone


Pre-Chorus
                  C
But you’ve become somebody else, not everyone else
       Em7
You’re watching your back like you can’t relax
    C                                       D
You try to be cool, you look like a fool to me


Chorus
        Em7                           C               G
Tell me why’d you have to go and make things so complicated
  D                  Em7                         C
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else
            G       D
Gets me frustrated, lies like it is you
Em7                 C
You’re fool, you’re cruel, you’re brave
         G                 D
You take what you get, you turn it into
Am7                                                   C
Honesty, you promised me you’re never gonna find your fake it
        G
No, no, no
        Em7
No, no, no
        C   D
No, no, no


Bridge
G
Chill out, watch the island fall
Em7
Lay back, it’s all been done before
C                     D
And if you could only let it be


Pre-Chorus
           C
You’ll see somebody else, not everyone else
       Em7
You’re watching your back like you can’t relax
    C                                       D
You try to be cool, you look like a fool to me


Out-Chorus
        Em7                           C               G
Tell me why’d you have to go and make things so complicated
  D                  Em7                         C
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else
            G       D
Gets me frustrated, lies like it is you
Em7                 C
You’re fool, you’re cruel, you’re brave
         G                 D
You take what you get, you turn it into
Am7                                                   C
Honesty, you promised me you’re never gonna find your fake it
