A          D
Valerie is beautiful
A               D             A
But she seems a little bit confused
             D
The life you offer her
    Bm                 E
She says she cannot use

A             D
You live in another world
A              D                A
She thinks she won't fit in and oh
               D
What about her plans for him?
    Bm           E
She bends to his will

[Chorus]
A  Bm  D      E      A     F#m  Bm  E
Heeeeeey, you better listen
A  Bm  D     E       A  F#m  Bm  E
'Ca–u–se I'm warning you
A  Bm  D     E     A     F#m  Bm  E
Lo  –  ve is never simple
       A  Bm D     E     A   F#m  Bm  E
With a com – pli – cated girl

[Verse]
A            D
You call her on the phone
A             D            A
She's got the other guy on hold
            D
You see the scene unfold
    Bm               E
You know it very well

A                D
Stay inside your room all day
A                D                 A
When she doesn't call you pull the shades
               D
Never seen you act this way
    Bm               E
The girl has hit you hard

[Chorus]
A  Bm  D      E      A     F#m  Bm  E
Heeeeeey, you better listen
A  Bm  D     E       A  F#m  Bm  E
'Ca–u–se I'm warning you
A  Bm  D     E     A     F#m  Bm  E
Lo  –  ve is never simple
       A  Bm D     E     A   F#m  Bm  E
With a com – pli – cated girl

[Bridge]
F          C
Why bother making rules
    D                        C
You know she will not follow?
F              C             D
Someday she'll find a way to remedy
     G                 E       A 
This lovely mess she's made of you

A  F#m  Bm  E

[Chorus]
A  Bm  D      E      A     F#m  Bm  E
Heeeeeey, you better listen
A  Bm  D     E       A  F#m  Bm  E
'Ca–u–se I'm warning you
A  Bm  D     E     A     F#m  Bm  E
Lo  –  ve is never simple
       A  Bm D     E     A   F#m  Bm  E
With a com – pli – cated girl
