I remember those times
I felt like I have been dreaming
Found someone who saw something

I tried to run but you'd find me
Everywhere you kept by me
I just don't understand that we got so lost

But bright turned to black and I saw

Chorus:
Trouble in paradise

I think I need a break from the rules,

I think I need a break from the rules,
from the rules
From the rules that you make

Finally you saw lightning, struck your
heart with those white keens

You were laughing, now you were lashing out

You were saying the right things

But you can be wrong, you can be wrong

You were laughing, now you were lashing out
Gm
You were saying the right things
     F          Cm     Gm         D7
But you can be wrong, you can be wrong

Chorus:
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise
I think I need a break from the rules
that you make
I think I need a break from the rules,
from the rules
Trouble in paradise
Trouble in paradise
I think I need a break from the rules
that you make
I think I need a break from the rules,
from the rules
From the rules that you make
