C 
When you find out things about yourself  
        F               C   
That you hadn't ought to know  
         F 
When your grandma calls and books you  
      G  
On the Jerry Springer Show  
       C 
And you find out you and your wife of 10 years  
F              C 
Just might be related  
F                    C 
Brother, life's not over  
         G      G7     C    
It's just simply complicated.  
 
 
There's other situations that might challenge you I guess  
When your daughter tries out for the football team  
And your son tries on her dress.  
And you start to think that the devil's in charge  
Of how you're situated.  
Life is still worth living  
It's just simply complicated  

G                            G7               C 
Life is complicated with it's ifs and ands and buts  
F                 C                 G      G7        C 
It's alright to be crazy, just don't let it drive you nuts.   
 
My daughter wants to go on dates  
I think I'll let her go.  
But she better not be moving at the moving picture show.  
Or stop by all those conchy tonks and get inebriated  
Ain't it all a caution, it's just simply complicated.  
 
Now I'm having a big problem with my present day career  
My ship, she has a rudder, but I don't know where to steer.  
Am I country, pop, or rock n roll  
I know they are related  
So I'll just let you be the judge  
It's simply complicated  
 
Chorus  
 
F            C   
Life is complicated  
NO  SHIT!
