This song can be played without a capo, or even capoed at the first or second fret, depending upon what key you want to sing it in. They all sound good! As always, listen to the song for the timing and changes, but also be creative with it! Complicated Carolyn Dawn Johnson Intro: G Bm C D C Verse 1: G So scared that the way that I feel G Is written all over my face C When you walk into the room D C I want to find a hiding place G We used to laugh, we used to hug G The way that old friends do C But now a smile and a touch of your hand D C Just makes me come unglued Em Am Such a contradiction, should I lie or tell the truth Em Am D Is it fact or fiction, oh the way I feel for you Chorus: G So complicated...so frustrating Bm I want to hold you close, I want to push you away C D I want to make you go, I want to make you stay G Bm Should I say it...should I tell you how I feel C D C I want you to know, but then again I don't G Bm C D C It's so complicated Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1:) Just when I think I'm under control I think I finally got a grip Another friend tells me that My name is always on your lips You say I'm more than just a friend You say I must be blind Well I admit I've seen you watch me >From the corner of your eye It's so confusing...I wish you'd just confess But think of what I'd be losing If your answer wasn't yes Repeat Chorus here, go right into BRIDGE: G Bm So complicated...oh, I hate it Am C D G Bm Cause I've waited so long for someone like you C D (C) Oh, what do I do G Bm Should I say it...should I tell you how I feel C D C Oh, I want you to know, but then again, I don't G Bm C D C So complicated (Repeat and fade intro chords to the end) *The (C) can be used as a transitional chord. Many of the chords in between are quick chords, just used to move the song along in a more interesting way. Again, play around until it sounds good to you. Happy pickin'!
