没有那么简单

[wakdjunkaga]

Hi! I've decided to learn the lyrics to this pretty cheesy song, 那么简单，that seems to be ubiquitous here in Qingdao. I‘ve just had a look at the lyrics and I can't make sense of a couple of lines (don't know if it's the grammar or something else that trips me, so sorry if this is an inappropriate board )

1) 没那么简单 就能找到 聊得来的伴

2) 也许好也许坏各一半

Thanks in advance!

1) It's not so easy to find someone you can chat with (get along with).

2) It could be good or it could be bad, chances are 50/50.

Thank you your fast reply

Now I understand the second one, but could someone please help me make grammatical sense of this 聊得来 bit? I don't get how this translates to 'can chat with'... What's 得 doing here?

Thanks in advance!
