[Verse 1]

  D                        G
I woke up this morning and fell out of bed:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
D                    G
Should've quit while I was ahead:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
G                         D
I turn on the news to the Third World War
G                    D
Open up the paper to World War Four
G                          D
Just when I thought it was safe to be bored:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
A                  G
Trouble waiting to happen

[Verse 2]

    D                      G
The mailman brought me the Rolling Stone:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
   D                    G
It said I was living at home alone:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
       G               D
I read things I didn't know I'd done
   G              D
It sounded like a lot of fun
  G               D
I guess I've been bad or something:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
A                  G
Trouble waiting to happen

[Chorus]

G                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
G                  D
Teardrops ready to start
G                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
      A
To my heart

[Verse 3]

D                           G
This just ain't gonna be my day:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
D                       G
Things just ain't gonna go my way:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
   G                 D
My day was over by a quarter to ten
  G                           D
I climbed right back into bed again
    G                          D
I'd write this down if I could hold a pen
  G                      D
I might get better but I don't know when
G                       D
So I'm gonna wait right here 'til then:
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
A                  G
Trouble waiting to happen

[Chorus]


G                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
G                  D
Teardrops ready to fall:
G                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
      A
To us all


[Outro]

D                  G
A                  D
Trouble waiting to happen
