Complicated Life by The Kinks from "Muswell Hillbillies" Intro: D A A D x2 Verse 1: A Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck, G D A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest, A I went to the doctor and the good doctor said, G D You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead, G D Cut out the struggle and strife, A D It only complicates your life. Verse 2: A Well I cut down women, I cut out booze, G D I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes, A I stopped going to work, stopped reading the news, G D I sit and twiddle my thumbs cos I got nothing to do, G D Minimal exercise, 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 A Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah, A D You gotta get away from the complicated life, son, D A Life is overrated, life is complicated, A D Must alleviate this complicated life. Interlude: A G D x2 G D Cut out the struggle and strife, A D It's such a complicated life. 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 D Gotta get away from the complicated life, son, A D Gotta get away from the complicated life.
