[Verse 1]

(same as intro)

A                      D         A
You tryna rob me but I ain't got nothing, man
A                           F#m        A
How you gon rob me? There's nothing to take
           A                      D        A
You better back up off me or I'll give you something, man
A                        F#m              A
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

None of my trouble, man

None of my trouble, man

         D           E        F#m E F#m E F#m E
And I am looking for trouble, man

I am looking for trouble, man

I am looking for trouble, man

I am looking for trouble
