And I realize
And he's long gone The joke is on me, yeah
When he's next to me

'Cause I ________ (know) you ________ (be) trouble That you never ________ (love) me
when you ________ (walk) in Or her, or anyone, or anything
So shame on me now
________ (fly) me to places I'd never been (CHORUS)

Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
