Intro
[C]
[Verse 1] (pm)
[C]
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
[Gsus4]
I was in your sights, you got me alone
[Am] [Fmaj7]
You found me, you found me, you found me-e
[C]
I guess you didn't care, and I guess liked that
[Gsus4]
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
[Am] [Fmaj7] [C]
Without me, without me, without me-e
[Pre-Chorus] (pm)
[Gsus4] [Am]
And he's long gone, when he's next to me and I
[Fmaj7]
Realize, the blame is on me
[Chorus 1] (one)
[Am] [Fmaj7] [Gsus4]
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
[C] [C/B] [Am]
It's a shame on me now-ow
[Fmaj7] [Gsus4]
Flew me to places I'd never been
[C] [C/B]
'Till you put me down, oh
[Chorus 2] (st)
[Am] [Fmaj7] [Gsus4]
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
[C] [C/B] [Am]
It's a shame on me now-ow
[Fmaj7] [Gsus4]
Flew me to places I'd never been
[C] (stop) [Am]
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
[Post-Chorus] (st)
[Am] [Fmaj7] [Gsus4] [C] [C/B] [Am]
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
[Am] [Fmaj] [Gsus4] [C] [C/B]
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
[Verse 2] (pm)
[C]
No apologies, he'll never see you cry
[Gsus4]
Pretends he doesn't know, that he's the reason why
[Am]
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-e-e-e-ing
[C]
Now I heard you moved on, the whispers on the street
[Gsus4]
A new notch in your belt, it's all I'll ever be
[Am]
And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e-e
[Pre-Chorus] (pm)
He was long gone, when he met me
And I realize, the joke is on me, yeah
[Chorus 1] (st)
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
It's a shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Till you put me down, oh
[Chorus 2] (st)
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
It's a shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
[Post-Chorus] (st)
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Bridge
[Fmaj7] [Am]
And the sadest fear, comes creepin' in
[Fmaj7]
That you never loved me or her,
[Gsus4] ([C] [C/B])
Or anyone, or anything, yeah yeah
[Chorus 1] (st)
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
It's a shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been (never been)
'Till you put me down, oh
[Chorus 2] (st)
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there)
It's a shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
[Post-Chorus] (st)
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
[Chorus 2] (st)
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
trouble, trouble, trouble
END!
