[INTRO]
[C] [Dmaj7] Yeah[Gmaj7] , [D] [Fmaj7] ahh [C] [Em]
They say[C] money can't buy you love [D]
They say money can't buy you love [F]
N.C.
They never seem to listen
[C]I'm all ears
[VERSE 1]
Just [D]copped your girl a [G]brand new [C]Rolex
But you can never [G]find the time to spend at hom[C]e
[D]Thinking that's gon' [G]keep her happy
When[F] time is all she [E]wanted all a[C]long [Em]
[CHORUS]
It's the [C]simple things in life we forge[Gmaj7]t
You hear her [Fmaj7]talking, but don't hear what she sai[C]d
Why do you [Cmaj7]make something so easy so[Gmaj7] complicated?
Searching fo[F]r what's right in front of your[C] face
N.C.
But you can't see it
[VERSE 2]
So you think that you [G]know what's imp[Am]ortan[C]t
Steady chasing your fa[G]me and your fortune
But you don't [C]know you're chasing a[G] dime[Gmaj7] , losing a treasure[F#]
Those do[F]llars don't make sense to m[C]e at [Cmaj7]all [E]
Ooh, it goes ([Em]duh da, duh da)
You give her spending [G]money (duh da, duh da)
But all she wanna spend is [C]time [Em]alone (tonight)
Keep giving her [E](the finer things, but)
But she don't really need that[Em] (if you don't [G]stop, you're)
You're gonna end up [F]alone (alone)
In a[Em] world without lov[Cmaj7]e (duh duh da, [Em]duh da)
N.C.
Why would you do it?
[CHORUS]
It's the [C]simple things in life we forge[Gmaj7]t
You hear her [Fmaj7]talking, but don't hear what she sai[C]d
Why do you [Cmaj7]make something so easy so[Gmaj7] complicated?
Searching fo[F]r what's right in front of your[C] face

[BRIDGE]
[D]Stop trying to buy[Em7] her love
'Cause you[Am7] won't ever have enough
There's [B7]always som[Em7]eone [Dm7]with more[Gm7] than y[Cmaj7]ou
You need to [Bm7]pay her atte[Em7]ntion
[Am7]Give [G]her[Cmaj7] what [Em7]she ne[E]eds
N.C.
Do the simple things
Before you lose your girl to m[C]e
[BREAK]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah [G]yeeah

You better look [Fmaj7]out

But what [G]are you saying?
Oh hoo[F] oh hooo [C]
[E]Don't be a f[G]ool, you got a good thing
Man, are you blind, stupid or crazy?
You got a goo[F]d thing, uh
You got a [Cmaj7]good thing
If that's y[E]our lady, you better hold on
And give her what she [G]want before she move on
Man, I tell [Fmaj7]you, cars, clothes, and fancy things don't mean a damn [C]thing
If you ain't[G] kicking it, [E]baby
