CVerse
C Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago G I was in your sights, you got me alone Am You found me, you found me F You found me-ee-ee-ee-ee I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that And when I fell hard, you took a step back Without me, without me Without me-ee-ee-ee-ee, ee-ee C G Am ...And he's long gone, when he's next to me F ...And I realize, the blame is on meChorus
Am F G 'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in C G/B It's a shame on me Now-ow, flew me to places I never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me Now-ow, flew me to places I never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Am F G C G/B ....Ahh, ohh.... trouble, trouble, trouble ....Ahh, ohh.... trouble, trouble, trouble No apologies, he'll never see you cry Pretend he doesn't know, that he's the reason why You're drowning, you're drowning You're drowning-ing-ing-ing-ing Now, I heard you moved on, from whispers on the street I new notch in your belt, is all I'll ever be And now I see, now I see Now I see-ee-ee-ee-ee, ee-ee He was long gone, when he met me And I realize, the joke is on me... yeah I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me Now-ow, flew me to places I never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me Now-ow, flew me to places I never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Ahh, ohh... trouble, trouble, trouble Ahh, ohh... trouble, trouble, troubleBridge
F And the saddest fear Am Comes creeping in F That you never loved me G Or her, or anyone, or anything... yeah--- I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me Now-ow, flew me to places I never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me Now-ow, flew me to places I never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Ahh, ohh... trouble, trouble, trouble Ahh, ohh... trouble, trouble, trouble I knew you were trouble when you walked in Trouble, trouble, trouble... I knew you were trouble when you walked in Trouble, trouble, trouble...
If you want to play along with the recording, add a capo to the 6th fret and use the chords shown above. You can play it without the capo if you like -- but you'd need to play it in the key of F# (in standard tuning) to play along with the record.
Here are the chords you'll need to play this song. The G/B is simply the G chord without the lowest string -- played after the C in the chorus, it helps create a walkdown from the C to G/B to the Am.

Here's a list of the 173 songs I've added to the site since December 2012. Each song was added by me personally.
Songs are grouped by the year they were released.
My name is David Potsiadlo, and I created Songnotes to share my collection of guitar tabs, chords, and lyrics for my favorite songs.
Since I started playing guitar over 10 years ago, I've often been frustrated by the preponderance of mediocre and incomplete song tabs littered across the internet. To combat this, I started keeping my own collection of notes for each song I learn -- always taking the extra time to make sure accuracy and completeness are never compromised. Years later, my collection grew to the point where I knew I had to share it online with fellow aspiring musicians.
In December 2012, I began designing & developing a website that became Songnotes. Here, I share my personal collection of hand-crafted music notation with all those online. I hope you enjoy.
