  			A                                  Em 
You cross the schoolyard with your head held down 
A                              Em 
You walk the streets under the breaking cloud 
F#m                    B         D 
With a hundred futures cascading out 
D 
It's complicated 

A                           Em 
You think of love as just a memory 
A                             Em   
A fog that smothers you, it's hard to breathe 
F#m                          B                  D 
But when you're on your own, that's when you're free 
D#dim              D 
You're three years older, and you'll always be now 

F              G             A 
I can feel you more than you really know 
F               G              A 
I will love you more than I'll ever show 

A                             Em 
There was a time when someone seemed to care 
A                           Em 
A tourist in your bed, you left him there 
F#m                          B         D 
And found a simple life with no one to share 
D 
It's not complicated 

A                           Em 
You make a list of all your big regrets 
A                                 Em 
And share with people that you've never met 
F#m                         B        D 
You slowly move towards the medicine chest 
D#dim              D 
You're three years older, and you'll always be now 

F              G             A 
I can feel you more than you really know 
F               G              A 
I will love you more than I'll ever show 
F                G   Em                        F 
You only have to say, and the world will slip away 
     A 
From you 

F#m B F#m B C#m A B C#m D C B 

F#m                      B 
Shame on you for getting older every day 
F#m                           B 
This place is not for you, so why do you still stay? 
C#m             A              B  
You're standing with the other fuckers in the rain 
C#m      D             C 
Life is not some silly cure for your pain 
B 
You'll have to pay 

F              G             A 
I can feel you more than you really know 
F               G              A 
I will love you more than I'll ever show 
F                G   Em                        F 
You only have to say, and the world will slip away 
     A 
From you
