Also this is where some music theory comes into play. In the example where a F clashes with the C chord the chord may not be a C. It could be a Csus4 or maybe a FMaj9, or a G7sus4,etc. Also maybe the F is just a passing note that move quickly to a chord note? There are a number of possibilities here.

What can determine the complexity of the chord structure is the songs genre. A jazz song could incorporate more complex chords than say a rock or country song. However that is not written in stone.

Without some chord and chord progression knowledge all one can do is to use the chord builder and search until something sounds good or start learning some music theory.

YMMV

Good luck.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
