Am F C G Em F

[Verse]
Am                                      F                C
I came down here to sell the drugs you hid beneath your bed
   G                 Em              F
I came down here to bend my crooked soul
       Am                             F                 C
And I wish you'd have the decency to tell me what they said
          G            Em               F
'Cause trouble walks beside me, as you know


[Chorus]
       Am            C               F            C
Oh and if I was a fighter, then a fighter I would be
         G                 Em        F
But the more I fight, the more I'm fought
       Am            C             F               C
Oh and if I was a sailor, I would sail across the sea
         G                 Em              F
But the more I dream, the more I know I'm not

[Interlude]
Am F C G Em F

[Verse]
Am                                      F                C
The cats upon the rooftops weep, the winter stole the sun
   G                 Em              F
The hour's™s come of which the poets feed
       Am                             F                 C
And I guess that I must stab the eye of someone who's in charge
         G            Em               F
I say; the more I stab, the less I bleed


[Chorus]
       Am            C               F            C
Oh and if I was a painter, I would paint the snow all green
         G                 Em        F
I'd stroke the sky to cover up the grey
       Am            C             F               C
Oh and if I was a waiter, I'd be waiting for the spring
         G                 Em              F
'Cause trouble walks beside me everyday

[Interlude]
Am F C G Em F

[Verse]
Am                                      F                C
Well, I guess that I could love you even when my heart is faint
   G                 Em              F
But I did not come to kiss your broken bones
       Am                             F                 C
You'll hear the sound of thunder traveling through the wind
         G            Em               F
The whistleblower's come to claim his home


[Chorus]
       Am            C               F            C
Oh and if I was a drinker, I would drink away the blue
         G                 Em        F
But the more I drink, the thirstier I get
       Am            C             F               C
Oh and if I was a runner, I would run my way to you
         G                 Em              F
But this trouble's not gonna let me forget
