It works perfectly with the Boyce Avenue Version

CAPO ON 3rd FRET

STANDARD TUNING 
G
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
D
I was in your sights, you got me alone
Em                              C
You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e-e
G
I guess you didn't care, and I guess liked that
    D
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
    Em                      C
Without me, without me, without meeeee
G              D                        Em
  And he's long gone, when he's next to me and I 
        C
Realize the blame is on me
[CHORUS]
[single-strum*]
       Em             C                        D
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
   G       D     Em
So shame on me now-ow
          C                      D
Flew me to places I'd never been 
          G     D
'Till you put me down, oh
Em              C                         D
I knew you were trouble when you walked in 
  G        D         Em
So shame on me now-ow
           C                   D
Flew me to places I'd never been
        G             D        Em
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
     C   D            G        D      Em
Ahh  oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
     C   D            G        D
Ahh  oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
