Verse 2
              Am              Em
Ain't got no time to call my own
            Am            Em
I'm wearing out my telephone
              C                Em
I hear the whispers behind my back
            Am C                  Em
I'm trying hard, but things look black


Chorus
              Am                C
I'm a simple man, had a simple plan
                     Em
I got a complicated life
 C                   G
Sometimes when you smile
     D                    Em
It makes the whole thing seem worthwhile
 C                   G
Sometimes when you smile
     D                  Am
It leads me down that final mile
                    C                      Em
That lets a simple man lead a complicated life

Verse 3
                 Am                           Em
I take one step forward, it's like two steps back
           Am                   Em
I may be weary, but my soul's intact

Forever chasing, what I can't reach
          Am   C               Em
Forever pacing, lifes stoney beach


Chorus
             Am                C
I'm a simple man, had a simple plan
                     Em
I got a complicated life
 C                   G
Sometimes when you smile
     D                    Em
It makes the whole thing seem worthwhile
 C                   G
Sometimes when you smile
     D                  Am
It leads me down that final mile
                    C                      Em
That lets a simple man lead a complicated life
