[Intro]

Am  F        C  G
      Uh huh,   life's like this
Am         F       C           G
    Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Am  F  C       G
         Cause life's like this
Am         F  C            G
    Uh huh,     that's the way it is


[Verse 1]

C
  Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?
Am
  Lay back, it's all been done before
F                       G
  And if you could only let it be, you would see
C
  I like you the way you are
Am
  When we're drivin' in your car
F                          G
  And you're talkin' to me one-on-one

But you become


[Pre-Chorus]

F
Somebody else 'round everyone else
       Am
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
       F
You're tryin' to be cool
                        G
You look like a fool to me - tell me


[Chorus]

Am                            F               C
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
  G
I see the way you're
Am                          F                 C
actin' like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
G
Life's like this, you -
Am                        F
  And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
          C
and you take what you get
         G           Dm
and you turn it into honesty
                                         F
and promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it
      C
No no no


[Verse 2]

C
  You come over unannounced
Am
  Dressed up like you're somethin' else
F                              G
  Where you are and where it's at, you see
                C
You're makin' me laugh out when you strike your pose
Am
  Take off all your preppy clothes
F                              G
  You know, you're not foolin' anyone

When you become


[Pre-Chorus]

F
Somebody else 'round everyone else
       Am
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
       F
You're tryin' to be cool
                        G
You look like a fool to me - tell me


[Chorus]

Am                            F               C

and promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it
