[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
It started off so easy and now it's clear as mud
Your life is complicated and I'd help you if I could
Time is slipping by you know and things are moving fast
You've got a long wait ahead my friend, if you save the best for last

[Chorus 1]
It's bleeding obvious
What a thing to say
Don't mind the rest of us
Have it your own way

[Verse 2]
You raise your voice to make your point and I'm trying to get some sleep
I said man it's all right by me, but you're getting in way too deep
I got it all the first time 'round so turn it down, give it a rest
It's not that complicated and I know what's coming next

[Chorus 2]
It's all so obvious
You shouldn't be surprised
But I find it curious
They don't have it in your size
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I have forgotten where we started
'Cause somewhere along the line
The salient point departed
And parked itself in a back street
In a lonely part of town
Mmm, it was lost in the fog of time

You started so well
Then went off on a trip around the world
Everywhere under the sun
If you ever return
We'll see if you learned
That it all adds up to one

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I know you think I'm stupid but you got to give me time
I'm sitting with my hand up but you send me to the back of the line
I hear you but it's all too much for the likes of little old me
You say this and that and who knows what, it's so hard to believe

[Chorus 3]
It's bleeding obvious
If what you're trying to say
The same as all the rest of us
In quite another way
