Tone: [G]
[G]The written word was just enough,
To keep us going when the wo[Em]world would get a little to[D]tough.
And, [G]I held you up when winter came,
And no one said a thing when every[Em]everything be[D]became so very
[Em]Complicated compl[G]icated compl[Em]icated they s[D]aid.
[G]The spring held nothing but surprise,
And all that we ignored was o[Em]open to our ey[D]eyes.
And I said, t[G]then maybe we should settle down,
Find a cottage or a tu[Em]tunnel under[D]underground
And we'll be
Comp[Em]licated compl[G]icated com[Em]plicated they sa[D]id we would be,
Co[Em]mplicated com[G]plicated c[Em]omplicated they [D]said.
Ohhhhh[Em]Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, I shou[G]should've known,
Ohhhhh[Em]Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, we'll h[D]have to go,
[Em]Back to the that we [G]were
Before we were [Em]us,
Before I was [D]me,
Before we were, h[Em]happier than I[G]I've ever been,
Than yo[Em]you'll ever see, [D]
'Cause that's the way it has to b[Em]be, [G]
The way it has to [Em]be.[D]be.
[G]We felt the summer on our skin,
We curled up in the warmth and l[Em]let each other [D]in.
And I asked, [G]"Have you felt this way before..."
You turned to me said "No I'll [Em]be forever yo[D]yours..."
And we'll be...
Co[Em]mplicated com[G]plicated c[Em]omplicated they [D]said we would be,
Co[Em]mplicated com[G]plicated c[Em]omplicated they [D]said.
[Em]Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, I sho[G]should've known,
And I said ohhh[Em]ohhhhhhhohh, we'll h[D]have to go,
[Em]Back to the that we [G]were
Before we were [Em]us,
Before I was [D]me,
Before we were, h[Em]happier than I[G]I've ever been,
[Em]Than you'll ever see, [D]
'Cause that's the way it has to...
[Em]I would push and you would
pull a[G]away from me my heart would bleed
And [Em]I'd say things I didn't mean
to [D]try and get you back to me.
We've b[Em]bent the rules, played the games
And n[G]never said we felt the same.
We[Em]We ended things like we began.
And [D]feared what we became...
So we'll go [Em]back, to the that we w[G]were,
Before we were [Em]us,
Before I was [D]me,
Before we were, ha[Em]happier than I[G]I've ever been,
Than y[Em]you'll ever see, [D]
'Cause that's the way it has to...
Ba[Em]Back to the way that we [G]were,
Before we were [Em]us,
Before I was [D]me,
Before we were ha[Em]happier than I'[G]I've ever been,
Than y[Em]you'll ever see, [D]
'Cause that's the way it has to b[Em]be. [G]
That's the way it has to[Em]to be. [D]
The way it has to [G]be.
