D5
There is fire
       A5
And there's light
   B5
The sense of something
                  G5
Coming down this telephone wire
            A5          B5
And there's wrong and there's right
            A5                 A5       D5
That's the closest thing to clarity tonight

           D5          A5
There are songs I've seen
          B5
That can make somebody feel
                 G5
Like things are better than they seem
               A5
That there's time
         B5     A5    D5
Yes there's time tonight


G5      A5      D5
In my own defense
G5   A5    B5      A5   D5
I don't believe that I
     A5         B5     A5
Was born this complicated


G5   A5   G5   A5


 G5
You can say
 A5
Something
 B5
Wait until the people cheer
     G5
Then give them the refrain
      A5             B5    A5      D5
And the band plays those blues away

G5      A5      D5
In my own defense
G5   A5    B5      A5   D5
I don't believe that I
     A5         B5     A5
Was born this complicated


   G5   A5   B5   A5   D5
[ Awesome Solo Over These Chords ]


 G5              A5
Its a frame of mind
      B5
its a surfacing you notice
          G5
from the corner of your eye
         A5       B5
You can see for miles
         A5                  A5         D5
With an inner light that's guiding you home

G5      A5      D5
In my own defense
G5   A5    B5      A5   D5
I don't believe that I
     A5         B5     A5
Was born this complicated

G5   A5   G5   A5

I think the little riff you hear at the end of certain measures goes something like this
