Well I	woke up this morning with a pain in my neck, A	pain my heart, and a pain my chest,

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

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

	G	D	A7	D
"	Cut out the struggle and	strife, It only	complicates your	life."

	A
Well I	cut down women, I cut down booze,

	D
Stopped	iron' my shirts, cleaning my shoes,

	A
Stopped	going to work and stopped reading the news,

	D
Sitting	twiddling my thumbs 'cos I got nothing to do,

	G	D	A	D
	Minimal exer	cise To help un	complicate my	life,

	N.C.
	Gotta stand and face it, life is so complicated!

	G	D	A7	D
"	Cut down the struggle and	strife, It's such a	complicated	life."

	A
Like	old Mother Hubbard I got nothin' in the cupboard,

	D	A
	Got no dinner and I got no supper,	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	A7	D
The	bills are rising sky	high, It's such a	complicated	life,

	N.C.
	Gotta stand and face it, Life is so complicated

	A7	D	G	D
Got to get a	way from the complicated	life	son...
