verse 1 
N.C.           Am 
Why you got it in for me? 
                         C 
Is it cause I bring you to your knees? 
                 Am 
Throw water on electricity 
                                       C 
Just to see if the sparkle'll make us feel 
                    G 
The way we used to feel 
Am 
  You're my heart-taker 
 
I'm your heart-breaker 
C 
  And we're both fakers 
 G                             Am 
Faking always trade it to each other's arms 
                  C 
We know where we are 
                  G 
We know where we are 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F                Am 
 Unchain my ghoul 
              N.C. 
But don't you ever let me go 
 
F              Dm 
Lights go out again 
       Am 
You stroke my pain 
     C 
And tempt my trouble 
 F              Dm 
Sick how we pretend 
     Am 
But we're not friends 
     C 
And we're not lovers 
 F 
We're just trouble 
 Dm 
We're just trouble 
Am    N.C. 
  So tempt my trouble 
 
Post-Chorus 
Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
 
verse 2 
                   Am 
I keep on messing with your head 
                    C 
You keep on messing up my bed 
                        Am 
I feel like we're two stoners, two loners 
                              C                 G 
Who keep on forgetting everything they've said 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F                Am 
 Unchain my ghoul 
              N.C. 
But don't you ever let me go 
 
F              Dm 
Lights go out again 
       Am 
You stroke my pain 
     C 
And tempt my trouble 
 F              Dm 
Sick how we pretend 
     Am 
But we're not friends 
     C 
And we're not lovers 
 F 
We're just trouble 
 Dm 
We're just trouble 
Am    N.C. 
  So tempt my trouble 
 
Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
N.C. 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
 
Bridge 
Am    C    Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
 
So why you gotta tempt my trouble? 
Am    C    Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
 
So why you gotta tempt my trouble? 
 
Oh 
 
F              Dm 
Lights go out again 
       Am 
You stroke my pain 
     C 
And tempt my trouble 
 F              Dm 
Sick how we pretend 
     Am 
But we're not friends 
     C 
And we're not lovers 
 F 
We're just trouble 
 Dm 
We're just trouble 
Am    C 
  So tempt my trouble 
 F 
We're just trouble 
 Dm 
We're just trouble 
Am    C 
  So tempt my trouble 
 
Outro 
Am 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
