but it's complicated

so complicated
F#5 D5 E5
somewhere in this city is a road i know
E5
where we could make it
E5 E5 D5
but maybe there's no making it now
Chorus:
A5
too long we've been denying
E5
now we're both tired of trying
F#5 D5
we hit a wall and we can't get over it
A5
nothing to relive
E5
it's water under the bridge
F#5
you said it, i get it
D5
i guess it is what it is
Verse 2: same as verse 1
i was only trying to bury the pain
but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying
was only trying to save me
but i lost you again
now there's only lying
wish i could say it's only me

too long we've been denying

we hit a wall and we can't get over it

it's water under the bridge
F#5
you said it, i get it

Bridge:
D5
here it comes ready or not
E5
we both found out it's not how we thought
F#5 B5 C#5(just 1 strum )
that it would be, how it would be

if the time could turn us around
E5
what once was lost may be found
F#5 B5 C#5(just 1 strum )
for you and me, for you and me
