G 
The written word was just enough,  
                            Em                       D 
To keep us going when the world would get a little tough. 
     G 
And, I held you up when winter came,  
                                  Em      D 
And no one said a thing when everything became so very 
Em               G           Em           D 
Complicated complicated complicated they said. 

G  
The spring held nothing but surprise,  
                             Em           D 
And all that we ignored was open to our eyes. 
             G 
And I said, then maybe we should settle down,  
                      Em        D 
Find a cottage or a tunnel underground 

And we'll be 
    Em           G         Em              D  
Complicated complicated complicated they said we would be, 
  Em           G         Em              D   
Complicated complicated complicated they said. 
      Em               G 
Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, I should've known,  
      Em                D 
Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, we'll have to go,  
Em                  G  
Back to the that we were 
               Em  
Before we were us,  
             D  
Before I was me,  
                 Em           G  
Before we were, happier than I've ever been,  
       Em                        D 
Than you'll ever see,  
                                 Em G  
'Cause that's the way it has to be,  
                  Em D  
The way it has to be. 

G  
We felt the summer on our skin,  
                                Em            D  
We curled up in the warmth and let each other in. 
             G  
And I asked, "Have you felt this way before..." 
                               Em           D  
You turned to me said "No I'll be forever yours..." 

And we'll be...  
  Em           G         Em              D  
Complicated complicated complicated they said we would be,  
  Em           G         Em              D  
Complicated complicated complicated they said. 
Em                    G  
Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, I should've known,  
               Em              D 
And I said ohhhhhhhohh, we'll have to go,  
Em                  G 
Back to the that we were 
               Em  
Before we were us,  
             D  
Before I was me,  
                 Em           G  
Before we were, happier than I've ever been,  
Em                    D  
Than you'll ever see,  

'Cause that's the way it has to...  

Em                               G  
I would push and you would pull away from me my heart would bleed 
    Em                              D                  
And I'd say things I didn't mean to try and get you back to me. 
       Em  
We've bent the rules, played the games 
     G  
And never said we felt the same. 
  Em                      
We ended things like we began. 
    D  
And feared what we became...  

            Em                    G  
So we'll go back, to the that we were,  
               Em  
Before we were us,  
             D  
Before I was me,  
                  Em          G 
Before we were, happier than I've ever been,  
      Em               D 
Than you'll ever see,  

'Cause that's the way it has to...  
  Em                    G  
Back to the way that we were,  
               Em  
Before we were us,  
             D  
Before I was me,  
                 Em           G  
Before we were happier than I've ever been,  
      Em              D  
Than you'll ever see,  
                                 Em    G  
'Cause that's the way it has to be. 
                        Em    D  
That's the way it has to be. 
                  G  
The way it has to be.
