[Intro]C

[Verse 1]

C                  

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago

G

I was in your sights, you got me alone

Am                              F

You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e-e

C

I guess you didn't care, and I guess liked that

    G

And when I fell hard, you took a step back

    Am                      F                       C

Without me, without me, without meeeee

[Pre-Chorus]

                      G                              Am

And he's long gone, when he's next to me and I 

       F                  -stop

Realize the blame is on me

[Chorus]

(*one strum)

       Am*             F*                        G*

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

   C*            G*

So shame on me now-ow

      Am*            F*               G*

Flew me to places I'd never been 

          C*            G*

'Till you put me down, oh

Am             F                        G

I knew you were trouble when you walked in 

   C              G

So shame on me now-ow

           Am                   F

Flew me to places I'd never been

        G                C                     Am

Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!

         F   G            C        G 

Ahh  oh oh, trouble, trouble

Am  F   G           C         G

Ahh  oh oh, trouble, trouble

[Verse 2]

C

No apologies, he'll never see you cry

   G

Pretends he doesn't know, that he's the reason why

       Am                                F 

You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-e-e-e-ing

      C

And I heard you moved on, from whispers on the street

  G

A new notch in your belt, is all I'll ever be

    Am                    F                        C

And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e-e

[Pre-Chorus]

                    G                       Am

He was long gone, when he met me

            F                       -once

And I realize, the joke is on me,  yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now-ow

 Am             F                  G

Flew me to places I'd never been

        C                   G                Am

Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!

         F  G      C        G

Ahh  oh oh, trouble, trouble

Am  F   G        C       G

Ahh  oh oh, trouble, trouble

[Bridge]

        Dm*                 Am*

And the sadest fear, comes creepin' in

         Dm*

That you never loved me or her, 

         G        

Or anyone, or anything, yeah yeah
