1. BaEmby let me set you downD  
                                       Em        D       GYou look so
troubled and I think I know
    JEmust when you think you've got it downD  
    There you go.Em  
2. Now I know the business of the heart
    And it'll get you anyway it can
    You need someone to walk with in the     dark,
    Well, I'm your man.
(chorus)
          I gDo to the trouble like a magnet
          That's where I'll beD7  
          TroCuble is just a place to DsingAm  
          It's just what you needC  Em  
3. I swear you look like you're in jail
    And all at once you're half way
    out the door
    One foot dancing, one foot nailed
    To the floor.
4. Chasing those circles in the ground
    Same old shit is still the same old lie
    Just when you think you've got it down
    Watch it fly.
            I go to the trouble like a light
            Or like a dare
            Trouble is just a friend to me,             I know
            It'll always be there
5.  It's really hard to make your peace
     So give me some credit for the hell
     I've paid
     This world's a blessing and a beast
     Every day
6.  So baby let me show you how
     The less you know the more
     I'll comprehend
     You don't have to drag me down
     I descend
             I go to the trouble and I like it
             That's where I'll be
             Trouble is just like love,
             if it's half the way
             It's all I can see
             And it's just what you need.

(from the cd: A Few Small Repairs)

Em D

1. Baby let me set you down

Em D G

You look so

troubled and I think I know

Em D

Just when you think you've got it down

There you go.

2. Now I know the business of the heart

And it'll get you anyway it can

You need someone to walk with in the dark,

Well, I'm your man.

(chorus)

I go to the trouble like a magnet

That's where I'll be

C D Am

Trouble is just a place to sing

C Em

It's just what you need

3. I swear you look like you're in jail

And all at once you're half way

out the door

One foot dancing, one foot nailed

To the floor.

4. Chasing those circles in the ground

Same old shit is still the same old lie

Just when you think you've got it down

Watch it fly.

I go to the trouble like a light

Or like a dare

Trouble is just a friend to me, I know

It'll always be there

5. It's really hard to make your peace

So give me some credit for the hell

I've paid

This world's a blessing and a beast

Every day

6. So baby let me show you how

The less you know the more

I'll comprehend

You don't have to drag me down

I descend

I go to the trouble and I like it

That's where I'll be

Trouble is just like love,

if it's half the way

It's all I can see

And it's just what you need.
