Verse 1:
                 Am7
It wasn't always easy
        D6
Growing up we had our fights
                   G7 
Though we wouldn't say it
    Em7
We wanted to play nice
                       Am7
I can safely say we're     friends
    D6
And that I love you too
                   G7 
But years ago that wouldn't happen
  Em7
Because I didn't get you
 
Pre-Chorus 1:
         Am7
Oh, it's complicated
      D6
And I need to say it
        G7             Em7
'Cause time is fading away
            Am7
I should've said it sooner
    D6
Who knows what's in the future
    G7                Em7    E7
But now I need you to know
 

E9   E7  
That I
 
Chorus 1:
Am7
Love you
               D6
You know it's true
                  G7 
You don't need to say it back to me
          Em7         E7
Because I know you do
      Am7
And I get it now
    D7
You weren't allowed
         G7                               Em7     E7   Am7
The same life that you've so gracefully endowed ooh
 
Verse 2:
                  Am7
I'm happy with it all now
        D6
We both had to grow and learn
                   G
To understand each other
          Em7
And with patience we took turns
                  Am7
I'm sorry for my anger
      D6
I was just too young to know
                    G
The cause of your exterior
          Em7
And just what you wouldn't show
 
Pre-Chorus 2:
         Am7
Oh, it's complicated
      D6
And I need to say it
       G7              Em7
'Cause time is fading away
            Am7
I should've said it sooner
    D6
Who knows what's in the future
    G7                Em7
But now I need you to know
 
Chorus 2:
E7     Am7
That I love you
              D6
You know it's true
                  G7 
You don't need to say it back to me
          Em7          E7
Because I know you do
      Am7
And I get it now
    D7
You weren't allowed
         G7                               Em7    E7
The same life that you've so gracefully endowed; Oh, I
 

Am7
Love you
            D6
You love me    too
         G7 
Unspoken words are preferred
               Em7
But it's the truth
     E7        Am7
I'll shift the tide
              D6
Leave windows wide
           G7 
We are the start
                                Em7    E7
Our change of heart will be our guide; Oh, I

                  G
You don't need to say it back to me
          Em          E7  
Because I know you do
 
Outro:
  Am7    D7
I    do
           G
I know you   do
