[Verse 1]
(same as intro)
A D A
You tryna rob me but I ain't got nothing, man

How you gon rob me? There's nothing to take

I'll give you a piece of the thing that I make
F#m D
And that's trouble, man

A D A D A
Summertime judge came to bust my bubble — now I got trouble
F#m/D A
If the summer should fall,
A D A
I would fall right along with it into the puddle
D A F#m/D A
With nothing for company but leaves as I bawl
A D A
Out for someone to function as some kind of buffer
D A F#m/D A
Between me and my ugly side, it's too close to call
A D A
Out for anyone but the one love out the hundred
D A F#m/D A
Who could love me for what I am under it all
[Chorus]
(palm muted chords here and in the following sections are labelled with *)
D E A A7
Y'see, I used to be my father's son — now I'm howling at the moon
D E A A7
I ain't really trying to bother no one, but I might be soon
D E A C#m F#m
And I'll be smelling like an elephant when I come in the room
D E
Because they used to call me "Daddy's Boy"
F#m* D
But now that's "Trouble" to you
[Verse 3]
A D A
And my trouble, man, is that I’m too damn stubborn
D A F#m/D A
Like plates in the cupboard, I am stuck in my ways
A D A D A
But a couple of days of vacation would make a significant difference
F#m/D A D
I'm listening to radio stations from eight states away
A D A
In the vacant sub-basement on Main Street
F#m/D A
The tasers will spray in my face
D A
And I’ll say "It's a great way to meet people"
D A F#m/D A
Treat 'em like sheep and a sweater they'll make
[Chorus 2]
D E
You see, I used to be the problem child
A A7
I’m only my own problem now
D E A A7
Now I find that I'm the same old wise guy they rightly threw out
D E A C#m F#m
That's why I find it hard to smile sometimes when I'm in the crowd
D* E*
Because I used to be the problem child
F#m* D* A
I used to be the problem child but now I am the Troubleman
[Solo]
A D A D A F#m/D A
[Bridge]
F#m* D
I am Troubleman
E* Bm
Nothing but Troubleman
C#m* F#m
Nothing but Troubleman
D E F#m E F#m E F#m E

None of my trouble, man

And I am looking for trouble, man
