Intro:
D A A D x2
Verse 1:
[A]Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck,
[G]A pain in my heart and a pain in my c[D]hest,
[A]I went to the doctor and the good doctor said,
[G]You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead,[D]
[G]Cut out the struggle and strife,[D]
[A]It only complicates your life.[D]
Verse 2:
[A]Well I cut down women, I cut out booze,
[G]I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my s[D]hoes,
[A]I stopped going to work, stopped reading the news,
[G]I sit and twiddle my thumbs cos I got nothing to do,[D]
[G]Minimal exercise,[D]
A D (let ring)
To help uncomplicate my life,
(D ringing out through this line)
Gotta stand and face it; life is so complicated,
Chorus:
[D]Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah,[A]
[A]You gotta get away from the complicated life, son,[D]
[D]Life is overrated, life is complic[A]ated,
[A]Must alleviate this complicated life.[D]
Interlude:
A G D x2
[G]Cut out the struggle and strife,[D]
[A]It's such a complicated life.[D]
Verse 3 (same chords as Verse 2);
Like old Mother Hubbard, I got nothin' in the cupboard,
Got no dinner and I got no supper,
Holes in my shoes, I got holes in my socks,
I can't go to work cos I can't get a job,
The bills are rising sky high,
It's such a complicated life,
Gotta stand and face it; life is so complicated,
Chorus x2
Outro:
[A]Gotta get away from the complicated life, son,[D]
[A]Gotta get away from the complicated life.[D]
