Complicated (Acoustic Version)
Avril Lavigne

 
Dm        A#m                F  C  
  Uh-huh,   life's like this
Dm              A#m                    F  C  
  Uh-huh, uh-huh  that's the way it is           (repeat intro)

F
Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Dm
Lay back, it's all been done before
A#m                      C
And if you could only let it be, you will see

F
I like you the way you are
Dm
When we're, driving in my car
A#m                         C
And you're talking to me one on one, but you've become

F
Somebody else 'round everyone else
Dm
Watchin' your back like you can't relax
A#m                                                C
You're tryin' to be cool; you look like a fool to me... Tell me

Dm                             A#m        F        
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
C
I see the way you're 
Dm                          A#m          F     
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
C
Life's like this, you

Dm                   A#m
And you fall and you crawl
                      F 
And you break and you take
             C        
What you get and you turn it into
G                                           A#m
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it... 
A#m         F  
No,   no,   no

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're something else
Where you are and where you sat, you see, you're making me
Laugh out when you strike a pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not fooling anyone when you become

Bridge, Chorus

No, no, no...  No, no, no  

Verse 1, Bridge, Chorus, Chorus

This tab is so wrong. It's not an A#m, it's A# and it's added in some place it shouldn't be in....anyway well if you tabbed it yourself, good effort anyhow..


cin December 1, 2002, 0:03 

this song is very cool


Cloud89x December 15, 2002, 0:08 

What is an A#m anyway?


Sex King December 15, 2002, 15:31 

SEX RULES!


sam December 15, 2002, 16:45 

a sharp minor


two_cents December 15, 2002, 18:37 

I was going to point out that A#m is the same as a Bbm which i've seen used on other tabs of this song.


morgan December 21, 2002, 20:12 

It's not:
Where you are and where you sat, you see, you're making me

It's actually:
Where you are ain't where it's at, you see, you're making me


James December 25, 2002, 18:04 

Where you are and where you sat?!?! haha

BTW, this song sucks my penis, alright, the only reason i'm learning these tabs is to mock her, you guys need musical taste


jesus December 27, 2002, 5:43 

BEND OVER TO THE LORD!


pierro December 27, 2002, 18:54

A Person December 27, 2002, 22:52 

OMG. I played my Avril CD and it sounded way better then when I *tried* playing this. "Where you sat"? HAHA. You should really re-think this song.


georgia January 1, 2003, 5:47

bubbye

sleepy mike January 6, 2003, 14:06 

wow, you've all got yourselves a bit of a forum going, i just thought id add to it... this song actually isnt that good, avrils just incredibly HOT and moderate talent... but SUPER HOT!


sex bomb January 6, 2003, 17:51 

sex drugs and rock and role is the best woooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo


abster January 6, 2003, 21:17 

the chord is Bb not A#m but nice try its played like this...
e-1
b-3
g-3
d-3
a-1
E-0

...now try it , love me xXx


Smithy January 9, 2003, 22:24 

Technically that's a Bb/E. A Bb should be played as:

e-1-
B-3-
G-3-
D-3-
A-1
E-X


livefromv. January 12, 2003, 11:20 

smithy, its the same chord just with an open e, doesnt make a dif


Igbo January 13, 2003, 17:49 

Its a Bb at Somebody else, instead of an F. And there's a tricky sentive area in this tune-- An Fsus2 (add a g-note) at complicated, and Frustrated, gives it the right sound when you sing the g-note. Trust me, I'm pretty good finding those sensitive g-spots. Apart from that this tab is pretty good, saved me having to stumble through it, thanks.



Jones January 14, 2003, 1:22 

This chick pisses me off. It's not her
music, it's the fact that she claims to be
punk and plays pop. Take off all your
"skater" clothes babe and dress like you
normaly would. It also upsets me that
we have a bunch of Avril Lavignes
hopping around in their ties and converse
now. What a joke.


johnny January 15, 2003, 6:23 

I think all you jerk-offs out there that are bad mouthing this tabs should quit talkin and make up there own version of this song, cut the person some slack, they did a pretty good job


subha kiran pun January 15, 2003, 14:51 

hi
thanx for the person who made is song "compicated"because my friend "runchee" she likes this songs very much so once again thanx for the person who made this song.


kelly January 15, 2003, 22:27 

i love this song, avril's great, and this tab is so kool. thanx...woo, go avril


StrungMAn January 18, 2003, 17:43 

hey how do u strum this song ??


Voss January 18, 2003, 20:17 

Yeah, can someone post how to strum this song for the ones who are starting playing guitar.

Thanks,

Voss


Thi January 20, 2003, 2:35 

Yeah i'v read through all the comments so is everyone agreing its Bb/E? and yeah and can someone work out the strumming patern, im too lazy


Jim Bauer January 20, 2003, 19:02 

Actually, I'm thinking the more accurate chord that should be where the "A#m" is shown is a Bbsus2, played like this;

Bbsus2 = X13311

Just my two cents. :)


joker January 21, 2003, 13:33 

i think u should name bridge 1 and bridge 2 cause there are two bridges...thx...anyway good effort!!!luv it.


joker January 21, 2003, 13:38 

G A#m
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it...

.......i think should be dm...pls gif me your comments


joker January 21, 2003, 13:39 

G A#m
Honesty promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it...

..i mean change the G to dm


davo January 26, 2003, 14:44 

i thought this song was played 1 step down. Which gives new meanings to your chords. Just the same chord formation.


MessWorld January 31, 2003, 11:03 

Hey! Those guys who said bad things about Avril are individuals who publicly takes credit for an act or claim any kind of superiority in the group. Im an Incubus tab seeker never liked Avril but I must tell the dorks like you to be silent and practice the guitar more than I do to surpass my talents! bwhahahahahhah


Glycerine January 31, 2003, 11:47 

MessWorld!!! you have just done what you dont like others to do!! I still like you Mess! I dont think you can do better on guitars of Incubus than I do! Im lookin' forward to see yah!! Im just a girl who can Mess ur world babe! Mess w/ me and never see the light again...


rob February 3, 2003, 22:53 

Could someone explain to me which fingers are used for which note. Bb - X13331
I just don't see how you would hold down all three 3's with one finger.


rob February 3, 2003, 22:59 

Jim Bauer your so right. The A#m should be changed to Bbsus2. It sounds so much more accurate. Thanks!


Red February 19, 2003, 23:26 

hey rob you fool!! u dont hold all with one finger u hold them with four
())()()()()()1finger

()2()3()4


Jananus February 20, 2003, 19:19

alric April 9, 2003, 9:24 

look u fools a#m n bflat is the same thing , so wat's wrong with it


Si April 21, 2003, 15:04 

Im trying to work out the strumming too...i need to get a little faster between the cords but im getting closer. please show me the strumming pattern for the intro, verse and chorus.

Here is what i think so far but im gonna be way off.

d = Down u = up
intro: Dm: d u d
A#m : u ... come to think of it this is too hard for me im getting no where.... is it meant to be hard to hear how its strum when your a begginner? anyone know an easier song?


deborah May 19, 2003, 19:11 

i need the strumming too!!


PSYCO John July 30, 2003, 12:54 

Is honesty the right word? i think its HonestLy, it makes grammatical sense then!

And heres an idea, lets do a SIMPLE version of each song (ie chords that even us beginners can play and find) lable it as simple or beginners and then do versions that are more complicated for those that need to use difficult ones.......and please stop slagging off other peoples tabs. If you are that damn good then DIY, otherwise shut it.
Thanks


Stephanie August 11, 2003, 2:21 

very good dont listen to what other people have to say well done kid


Adam September 2, 2003, 22:28 

I'm just learning this song to sing along with WEIRD AL.


wanna-be December 8, 2003, 11:48 

hey who's looking for the struming pattern.

it go's
down,down,up,down,up,down,down
for the intro

then on the verse just add an extra down at the end.

Not a bad tab cheif


MJ409 January 24, 2004, 2:54 

YAY!! Thank you so much!! Now i can play the song with the correct pattern! Im slow between the chords too.. but im getting better....

-MJ


christine March 5, 2004, 22:56

ciao :D Avril kicks ass!


Sin-Zero June 9, 2004, 2:53 

Wow, you people are sad. All those guys above..."umm I'm just learning this song because, (insert stupid excuse here)." You must be really insecure or something. I'm a guy and I will sit here and tell you that I like her music wether you call it punk or pop or rock I don't care. Get a life. At least she writes her own music unlike some people I could mention. It reall is pathetic when you do nothing but make fun of her and the guy who wrote this tab. He wrote this tab to help people or get people started who don't feel like doin it themselves. While all you do is sit there and complain. You bunch of whiners you should stop playing the guitar right now. As for the rest of you big enough to admit you like her even if she is a Woman that's cool, and the guy who made this tab just for the effort. Christine Basic chords.
