C    Dmaj7     Gmaj7  D   Fmaj7   C    Em
           Yeah,              ahh
        C                         D
They say money can't buy you love
                                  F
They say money can't buy you love
N.C.
They never seem to listen
C
I'm all ears


[Verse 1]
     D                  G         C
Just copped your girl a brand new Rolex
                  G                            C
But you can never find the time to spend at home
D                    G
Thinking that's gon' keep her happy
    F                E           C    Em
When time is all she wanted all along


[Chorus]
         C                             Gmaj7
It's the simple things in life we forget
             Fmaj7                               C
You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said
           Cmaj7                    Gmaj7
Why do you make something so easy so complicated?
            F                              C
Searching for what's right in front of your face
N.C.
But you can't see it


[Verse 2]
                      G              Am   C
So you think that you know what's important
                      G
Steady chasing your fame and your fortune
              C                    G    Gmaj7              F#
But you don't know you're chasing a dime, losing a treasure
        F                          C    Cmaj7   E
Those dollars don't make sense to me at all
              Em
Ooh, it goes (duh da, duh da)
                      G
You give her spending money (duh da, duh da)
                           C    Em
But all she wanna spend is time alone (tonight)
                E
Keep giving her (the finer things, but)
                              Em             G
But she don't really need that (if you don't stop, you're)
                    F
You're gonna end up alone (alone)
    Em                Cmaj7          Em
In a world without love (duh duh da, duh da)
N.C.
Why would you do it?


[Chorus]

         C                             Gmaj7
It's the simple things in life we forget
             Fmaj7                               C
You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said
           Cmaj7                    Gmaj7
Why do you make something so easy so complicated?
            F                              C
Searching for what's right in front of your face
N.C.
But you can't see it

         C                             Gmaj7

You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said
           Cmaj7                    Gmaj7
Why do you make something so easy so complicated?
            F                              C
Searching for what's right in front of your face
N.C.
But you can't see it


[Bridge]
D                 Em7
Stop trying to buy her love
          Am7
'Cause you won't ever have enough
        B7        Em7  Dm7      Gm7    Cmaj7
There's always someone with more than you
            Bm7         Em7
You need to pay her attention
Am7  G  Cmaj7 Em7   E
Give her what she needs
N.C.
Do the simple things
                              C
Before you lose your girl to me


[Break]
                    G
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah
F             C
Yeeeah, yeah
               Cmaj7     Em
Play on, playa
      G                                    Fmaj7
Yeah, your girl coming with me shorty, haha
C

N.C.
Cause you know...


[Chorus]

         C                             Gmaj7
It's the simple things in life we forget
             Fmaj7                               C
You hear her talking, but don't hear what she said
           Cmaj7                    Gmaj7
Why do you make something so easy so complicated?
            F                              C
Searching for what's right in front of your face
N.C.
But you can't see it


[Verse 3]
                Fmaj7
You better look out
C              G               C
I hear you talking, I hear you talking, ha
         G
But what are you saying?
      F          C
Oh hoo oh hooo
E           G
Don't be a fool, you got a good thing

Man, are you blind, stupid or crazy?
             F
You got a good thing, uh
          Cmaj7
You got a good thing
           E
If that's your lady, you better hold on
                      G
And give her what she want before she move on
            Fmaj7                                                  C
Man, I tell you, cars, clothes, and fancy things don't mean a damn thing
            G            E
If you ain't kicking it, baby


[Chorus]

         C                             Gmaj7
It's the simple things in life we forget

[Outro]
Gmaj7              Fmaj7                          Cmaj7
    Don't let this be the thing you'll always regret, no
          F
It's right there, it's right there...
