(Intro)
D                           G     A     D
Tell me why does love gotta be so complicated
D                                             A
One day you're hand in hand the next long and jaded
          G                         D
Watch the tower you built with your heart and your hands
G                       D         
Fall to the wreckage of loveless pits
G                                    A
Ain't no chance in hell you're gonna save it
           G                   A           D       G      A
So tell me why does love gotta be so complicated


            D              G       D
Thought I'd never let love push me around
G            D                  A
Never get my heart broken never let my guard down
       G          D              G       D
But it ain't that simple no it's hard to explain
              G               D              A            D
Sometimes you walk into those traps and walk away in it's chains.


(chorus)

        G        D          G     D          
Tell me why does love gotta be so hard 
      G         D           A                                     
it'll drive you crazy It'll blind your heart. 
      G       D               G        Bm
Won't let you see that you're one step away 
         A
From the edge 
       D        G        D    G
you're fixin to fall all over again 
            D        A        D
Yeah you're fixin to fall all over

Well they say that love ain't so bad 
when you find someone in whom you can depend
But as for me I always end up hurtin
With my face and my hands and my heart in the dirt

(chorus)

Well you work so hard just to make things work
Just to watch it all come crumblin back down to earth
you try your best but you know it ain't no use
You're tired and alone and you're needin somethin new

(chorus)
