Pain of a Troubled Life 
(Ron Block/Moonlight Canyon Publishing, adm. by Bug Music, BMI) 
 
Intro: G | D | G 
 
G 
I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years 
                                       D 
Got no use for trouble, got no use for tears 
G                                        C       G 
Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time 
                           D                  G 
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life 
 
     C               G       C                   G 
I've had my share of sorrow, more than you could know 
C                  G                            D 
Save your lies and alibis, I've heard that tune before 
G                                        C       G 
Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time 
                           D                  G 
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life 
 
 
Instrumental: G | C | G 
 
G 
You're out all night, asleep all day, so pack it up and leave 
                                         D 
'Got no use for trouble, trouble's using me 
G                                      C        G 
Don't you see my love won't be forever deaf and blind 
                           D                  G 
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life 
 
     C               G       C                   G 
I've had my share of sorrow, more than you could know 
C                  G                            D 
Save your lies and alibis, I've heard that tune before 
G                                        C       G 
Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time 
                           D                  G 
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life
