There's aClways trouble, from what I Ghear

YeCah, trouble, noGthing new
But I Amnever thought I'd have this Ftrouble with you
I lost my Cone way ticket Ghome 
I'm at a Fbusted CteleGphone
And I Fgot no way to Gshow you you're not aAmloneG  
Oh Cmercy, meGrcy me
AmMaybe for a minute, I Fwanted to be free
But then I Csaw what I had to Glose 
They Amsay the narrow path is the Fhardest to choose
I've got a Cone way radiGo 
ComFmuniCcation's Gslow
And I Fgot no way to Gshow you, you're not aAmloneG  
CHORUS:
Hold Con, on baby, hold E7on
I'm Fsorry I did you CwrongG  
Hold Con, on baby, hold E7on
FPlease don't you say, "So Clong"G  
When we Dmlook up from this Gmess
We'll see our Cstars were only taking a rAmest
And now they're Dmlining up, east to Gwest
So hold Con
There's always trouble, look aGround and see
But AmI'm not in the kind I Fthought I'd be
And isn't it Calways truGe?  
The Amthing you had to learn, was the Fthing you thought you knew
I got a Cnew humiliGty
I Fthink you'd Clike to Gsee
CHORUS:
N.C.                  C  E7  
Hold on, on baby, hold on

We'll see our Cstars were only taking a reAmst
And now they're Dmlining up, east to Gwest
