Trouble

Words & Music:

Cat Stevens

 

G            D

Trouble, oh, trouble set me free.

Am     C                       Am                     C

I have seen your face and it's too much, too much for me.

G            D

Trouble, oh, trouble can't you see?

Am               C                      Am                   C F

You're eating my heart away and there's nothing much left of me.

 

E A  G          D                      G         D

I've drunk your wine and you have made your work mine,

    G            Am                    C

So, won't you be fair, so won't you be fair?

E A             G       D                    G       D

I don't want no more of you; so won't you be kind to me?

               Am                  C 

Just let me go where, I have to go there.

 

Trouble, oh, trouble move away.

I have seen your face and it's too much for me today.

Trouble, oh, trouble can't you see?

You have made me a wreck; now, won't you leave me in my misery?

 

I've seen your eyes and I can see death's disguise

Hangin' on me, hangin' on me.

I'm beat, I'm torn; shattered and tossed and worn.

Too shocking to see, too shocking to see.

 

Trouble, oh, trouble move from me.

I have paid my debt; now, won't you leave me in my misery?

Trouble, oh, trouble please be kind.

I don't want no fight and I haven't got a lot of time.
