Capo III
AmWoke 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
  CEverybody says I've lost my Ammind
  CWhen I'm with you I guess I see why
I'm saying Dmthings I never Amsay
Doing Dmthings that I don't Amdo
You're no Dmgood for me and Cthey say I'm too Dmgood for Cyou
BuAmt I can't help myself when you're around
If trouble is as trouble does
Then I'm in trouble now
AmAll 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
  CEverybody says I've lost my Ammind
  CWhen I'm with you I guess I see why
I'm saying Dmthings I never Amsay
Doing Dmthings that I don't Amdo
You're no Dmgood for me and Cthey say I'm too Dmgood for Cyou
BuAmt I can't help myself when you're around
If trouble is as trouble does

You're no good for me and they say I'm too good for you

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

If trouble is as trouble does
