      [Chords]
C/G  3x2013

[Intro]
G  C/G  x4

[Verse 1]
    G
You just can't trust them pretty girls
        D
They're only here to wreck your world
    Am                                  G     C/G
And make sure you never get to sleep at night
G
I don't know the reasons why
     D
They all wanna hang you out to dry
    Am                                G
You ain't got strength enough left to fight

[Chorus 1]
        Am                Em
Oh, but I'm, well, I'm in trouble
       C                                   G
Like I know you're bound to get in trouble too
      Am                    Em
And I know that it won't be long
           F                           D
Before the man you love is loving someone new

[Verse 2]
  G
I walked up to the river bridge
    D
And stood myself up on the ledge
    Am                                G   C/G
And screamed out to everyone, "let me be"
  G
I got me a worried mind
      D
Gonna find me a worried kind
   Am                             G
Of girl, who's lonesome just like me

[Chorus 2]
      Am                        Em
And I know I'm just one of your poor boys
         C                         G
That you swore you'd never leave behind
      Am                   Em
And I see, I can see right through you
      F                   D
And I know you're not my kind

[Instrumental]
G  D  Am  G  x2
Am  Em  C  G
Am  Em  F  D

[Verse 3]
G
 Now all my money's gone
   D
To someplace that it don't belong
    Am                              G     C/G
I'm singing the broken-down-poorboy blues
  G
I ain't got nothing to my name
    D                              Am
But nothing is my favorite game to play
                                 G
'Cause there's never anything to lose

[Chorus 3]
      Am               Em
And I know that I'm in trouble
       C                                   G
Like I know you're bound to get in trouble too
      Am                    Em
And I know that it won't be long
           F                           D
Before the man you love is loving someone new

[Outro]
G  D  Am  G  x2
