Complicated Life by Ray Davies

Intro: D  A  A7  D G D x2

        A                                        
Well I  woke this morning, with  a pain  in my  neck,
  D                                             
A pain  my heart, and a pain my chest,
  A                                             
I went to the good doctor and the good doctor said,
          D                                     
You gotta slow down  your life or you're gonna be dead,
G                        D                       
Cut out the struggle and strife,
        A7               D                        
It only complicates your life,


       A                                        
Well I cut down women I cut out booze,
           D                                    
I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes,
          A                                     
I stopped going to work, reading the news,
            D                                   
I'm sitting twiddling my thumbs cos I got nothing to do,
G           D                                    
Minimal exercise     
          A             D                        
To help uncomplicate my life,
(n.c)                                               
Gotta stand and face it, life is so complicated,


Chorus
            D                     A

            A7                       D     G   D    
Got to get away from the complicated life son,
           D                    A                
Life is overated, life is complicated
         A7                          D  G  D            
Must aleviate this life complicated life

     A                                          
Like old Mother Hubbard I got nothin'  in the cupboard,
D                                               
Got no dinner and I got no supper,
A                                               
Holes  my shoes I got holes  my socks,
  D                                             
I can't go to work cos I can't get a job,
    G                    D                       
The bills are rising sky high,
            A7          D                         
It's such a complicated life,
(n.c)                                               
Gotta stand and face it, Life is so complicated
