[Intro]
Em     Cmaj7         G    D
             Uh-huh,      life's like this
Em      Cmaj7          G
Uh-huh,      uh-huh
  D
That's the way it is
D
'Cause life's like this
Em      Cmaj7
Uh-huh, uh-huh
 D
That's the way it is
 
 
[Verse 1]
 G
      Chill out, whatcha yelling for?
 Em
      Lay back, it's all been done before
Cadd9                        D
      And if you could only let it be, you will
       see
 G
      I like you the way you are
 Em
      When we're drivin' in your car
Cadd9                           D
      And you're talkin' to me one-on-one
 
But you become
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 Cadd9
Somebody else 'round everyone else
          Em
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
       Cadd9
You're tryin' to be cool
                         D
You look like a fool to me
 
Tell me
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em                            Cmaj7             G
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
   D
I see the way you're
  Em                           Cadd9              G
Actin' like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
D
Life's like this, you
   Em                      C
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
            G
And you take what you get
         D            Asus2
And you turn it into honesty
                                             C
And promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it
         G
No, no, no
 
 
[Verse 2]
 G
      You come over unannounced
Em
      Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Cadd9                              D
      Where you are and where it's at, you see
D
      You're makin' me
G
      Laugh out when you strike your pose
Em
      Take off all your preppy clothes
Cadd9                                 D
      You know, you're not foolin' anyone
 
      When you become
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 Cadd9
Somebody else 'round everyone else
          Em
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
       Cadd9
You're tryin' to be cool
                         D
You look like a fool to me
 
Tell me
