[Verse 1]

A*      A*     A*       A*      A* A*   A*   A*
Nothing in the world is perfect ta-tata-tata
A*       A*      A*   A*     A*     A*    A*  A*
Grin and bear it silently or yell into my ear

[Chorus]

D                   A
Complaints, it's my department
D                   A
Complaints, it's my department
D    E
Everything you wear's too tight
    D       E
And clashes with the candlelight
A*             D*                 A*   A*  A*  A*
  Just give it back, no questions asked

[Verse 2]

A*      A*     A*       A*      A* A*   A*   A*
Nothing in the world is perfect ta-tata-tata
A*       A*      A*   A*     A*     A*    A*  A*
Grin and bear it silently or yell into my ear

[Chorus]

D              A
Complaints, stereophonic
D                A
Complaints, it's ironic
D            E
How they chatter, how they bore us
D         E
Like some avant-gardeish chorus
A*             D*                 A*
  Just give it back, no questions asked

[Bridge]

F#
I'll dive off the mezzanine
   B
If one more points at crooked seams
  F#
A sign of shoddy workmanship
   B
Of Asiatic hands that slipped
A*             D*                 A*   A*  A*  A*
  Just give it back, no questions asked

[Verse 2]

A*      A*     A*       A*      A* A*   A*   A*
Nothing in the world is perfect ta-tata-tata
A*       A*      A*   A*     A*     A*    A*  A*
Grin and bear it silently or yell into my ear

[Chorus]

D                       A
Complaints, there's too many hours
D               A
Complaints, the bosses cower
D         E
Two weeks free from all complaining
D      E
It was due to our complaining
A*             D*                 A*  N.C.
  Take her to Spain, hear her complain

[Bridge]

    F#
Now she says she is expecting
B
That's my fault for not protecting
    F#
Her from all the risks of passion
B
She's complaining, she's old-fashioned
A*             D*                 A*   N.C.
  Just give it back, no questions asked

[Interlude]

D* D* N.C.    A* A* N.C.    D* D* N.C.    A* A* A* A*
