Trouble Waiting to Happen Warren Zevon/J. D. Souther

(C) (F) (G) (C) (F) (G) (C)
I woke up this morning and I (F)fell out of bed,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.
Should've quit while (F)I was ahead,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.

I (F)turned on the news to the (Em)Third World War,
(F)Opened up the paper to (Em)World War IV,
(F)Just when I thought it was (Em)safe to be bored,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.
(G)Trouble waiting to (F)happen. (C)

The mailman brought me the (F)Rolling Stone,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.
It said I was living at (F)home alone,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.

I read (F)things I didn't (Em)know I'd done,
It (F)sounded like a (Em)lot of fun,
Well, (F)I guess I've been (Em)bad or something,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.
(G)Trouble waiting to (F)happen. (C)

(F)Trouble waiting to (Em)happen,
(F)Teardrops ready to (Em)start,
(F)Trouble waiting to (C)happen to my (G)heart.

(C)This just ain't gonna (F)be my day,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.
Things just ain't gonna (F)go my way,
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.

My (F)day was over by a (Em)quarter to ten,
I (F)climbed right back into (Em)bed again,
I'd (F)write this down if I could (Em)hold a pen,
I (F)might get better but I (Em)don't know when,
(F)So (F)I'm (F)gon(F)na (F)wait(hold) right here 'til then…
(G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.
(G)Trouble waiting to (F)happen. (C)

(F)Trouble waiting to (Em)happen,
(F)Teardrops ready to (Em)fall,
(F)Trouble waiting to (C)happen to us (G)all. (C)
(F) (G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen,
(F) (G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen,
(F) (G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen,
(F) (G)Trouble waiting to (C)happen.
(F) (G) (C) (F) (G) (C)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
