                  Am
Why you got it in for me?
                         C
Is it cause I bring you to your knees?
                 Am
Throw water on electricity
                                       C
Just to see if the sparkle'll make us feel
                    G
The way we used to feel
Am
You're my heart-taker
I'm your heart-breaker
C
And we're both fakers
                G               Am
Faking always trade it to each other's arms
                  C
We know where we are
                  G
We know where we are

F              Am
Unchain my ghoul
But don't you ever let me go

Chorus:
F              Dm
Lights go out again
       Am
You stroke my pain
     C
And tempt my trouble
 F              Dm
Sick how we pretend
     Am
But we're not friends
     C
And we're not lovers
 F
We're just trouble
 Dm
We're just trouble
Am
So tempt my trouble

Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I keep on messing with your head
You keep on messing up my bed
I feel like we're two stoners, two loners
Who keep on forgetting everything they've said

Unchain my ghoul
But don't you ever let me go

Chorus:
Lights go out again (lights go out again)
You stroke my pain
And tempt my trouble
Sick how we pretend (how we pretend)
But we're not friends
And we're not lovers
We're just trouble
We're just trouble
So tempt my trouble

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Am    C    Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So why you gotta tempt my trouble?
Am    C    Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So why you gotta tempt my trouble?

Oh

Chorus:
Lights go out again (lights go out)
You stroke my pain
And tempt my trouble (temp my trouble)
Seek how we pretend (seek how we pretend)
But we're not friends
And we're not lovers (we're not lovers)
We're just trouble
We're just trouble
So tempt my trouble
We're just trouble
We're just trouble
So tempt my trouble

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
