Am 
Woke up this morning with a pounding in my brain 

I don't know where I am or how I will explain 

The congregation whispers when I walk in late 

Oughta straighten up if only for my mama's sake 


C                            Am 
  Everybody says I've lost my mind 
C     
  When I'm with you I guess I see why 
           Dm             Am 
I'm saying things I never say 
      Dm                  Am 
Doing things that I don't do 
          Dm              C                Dm       C 
You're no good for me and they say I'm too good for you 
  Am 
But I can't help myself when you're around 

If trouble is as trouble does 

Then I'm in trouble now 


Am 
All points bulletin, last seen yesterday  

Brown hair, brown eyes, third time runaway 

We pulled in, 2am, front porch light still on 

When I saw your daddy comin, we were goin, goin, gone 



C                            Am 
  Everybody says I've lost my mind 
C     
  When I'm with you I guess I see why 
           Dm             Am 
I'm saying things I never say 
      Dm                  Am 
Doing things that I don't do 
          Dm              C                Dm       C 
You're no good for me and they say I'm too good for you 
  Am 
But I can't help myself when you're around 

If trouble is as trouble does 
                                  E      Am 
Then I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble now 



C                            Am 
  Everybody says I've lost my mind 
C     
  When I'm with you I guess I see why 
           Dm             Am 
I'm saying things I never say 
      Dm                  Am 
Doing things that I don't do 
          Dm              C                Dm       C 
You're no good for me and they say I'm too good for you 
  Am 
But I can't help myself when you're around 

If trouble is as trouble does 

Then I'm in trouble now 

I can't help myself, I can't help myself 

I can't, I can't, I can't help myself when you're around 

If trouble is as trouble does  
      E      E7     Am 
Then I'm in trouble now
