Trouble in Paradies Lyrics

Baby I was talking all night long trying to take it home long distance
E B
I guess I lost my connection I heard you slip away
E F# E

And then it came in loud and clear you only hear what you want to hear

G F# B
And everyBody here says sonny Boy your on your way
E E7 B B7
There's trouble in paradise the story don't sound too nice
F# B B7
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
E E7 B B7
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
F# B
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
E B
Baby you've been looking at the future and I know you think you found
It
E B
Now you wanna make me a hero put me in a shinny suit
E F#
Now I don't know where to put the blame
E
I guess everybody needs to have a name
G F# B
But you never get to count the loot
E E7 B B7
There's trouble in paradise the story don't sound too nice
F# B B7
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
E E7 B B7
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
F# B
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room

Bm E Bm E Bm E Bm E

There's trouble

Bm E Bm E
Where the warm winds don't blow
Bm E Bm E
And the stars don't seem to shine so bright
Bm E Bm Bm E Bm E Bm E
Nearly everybody knows nearly nobody minds


E B
You've been hanging at the stage door waving at the limousine
E B
It's the same cat life that we use in grave yard scenes
E
So tomorrow morning you go Back to school
B
Acting as if nothing has changed
G F# B
Well there's no use playing if your winning at a losing game
E E7 B B7
There's trouBle in paradise the story don't sound too nice
F# B B7
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
E E7 B B7
There's trouBle in paradise you never turn out those lights
F# B
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
