by The Kinks from "Muswell Hillbillies" [Intro] D A A D x2 [Verse 1]
A
Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck,

D                                    D
A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest,

A
I went to the doctor and the good doctor said,

D                                                   D
You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead,

G                              D
Cut out the struggle and strife,

A                           D
It only complicates your life.
[Verse 2]
A
Well I cut down women, I cut out booze,

D                                         D
I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes,

A
I stopped going to work, stopped reading the news,

D                                                  D
I sit and twiddle my thumbs cos I got nothing to do,

G                  D
Minimal exercise,

A                              D
To help uncomplicate my life,
Gotta stand and face it; life is so complicated, [Chorus]
D                                    A
Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah,

A                                                 D
You gotta get away from the complicated life, son,

D                                 A
Life is overrated, life is complicated,

A                                    D
Must alleviate this complicated life.
[Interlude] A G D x2
G                                 D
Cut out the struggle and strife,

A                              D
It's such a complicated life.
[Verse 3]
A
Like old Mother Hubbard, I got nothin' in the cupboard,

D
Got no dinner and I got no supper,

A
Holes in my shoes, I got holes in my socks,

D
I can't go to work cos I can't get a job,

G                         D
The bills are rising sky high,

A                        D
It's such a complicated life,
Gotta stand and face it; life is so complicated, [Chorus] (x2)
D                                       A
Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah,

A                                                  D
You gotta get away from the complicated life, son,

D                                 A
Life is overrated, life is complicated,

A                                      D
Must alleviate this complicated life.
[Outro]
A                                             D
Gotta get away from the complicated life, son,

A                                         D
Gotta get away from the complicated life.
