G Em x4
Verse 1:
G Em
Well everything’s so different now, a scream which fills the air
G Em
And haunts the smallest children’s sleep, upon the floor
G Em
“Where have they gone?"; You’ll hear them say with smiles meant to cry
G Em
As they wind a watch wrapped on a wrist and quickly look away
G Em
And four and six have come and gone five times before they’re seen
G Em
And upon the lips of everyone a curse they’ve never dreamed
C Asus2 Em
Yeah, upon the lips of everyone a curse they’ve never dreamed
Chorus:
G Em
It’s a complicated situation
G Em
It’s a complicated situation, mamma
G Em
I'm a complicated situation
G Em x4
Verse 2:
G Em
The young must be our sacrifice they say with crippled grins
G Em
The eyes of youth must lose their way and stumble here within
G Em
So the sleeping children were awoke in time to haze their eyes
G Em
So it was never known on which they choked with books of old in time
C Asus2 Em
So it was never known on which they choked with books of old in time
Chorus:
G Em
It’s a complicated situation
G Em
It’s a complicated situation, mamma
G Em
I'm a complicated situation
