The trouble with you, you're always looking down that highway
A A G D
For a better place to go.
D A G G
The trouble with me, I'm always looking back behind me
A A D D
On the shoulder of the road.
CHORUS 1: Bm A G G
The trouble with love is it has no sense of direction;
Bm G A A
Our paths were never meant to cross.
Bm A G G A A
The signs were so clear, but in a solitary second we were lost...
The trouble with hearts, you never know where they will lead you
Until you're long gone.
One day I woke to realize how much I need you;
Though that may not be what I want.
CHORUS 2: Bm A G G
The trouble with love is it don't care what you were planning
Bm G A A
Or what you thought you were waiting for.
Bm A G
I'm shaking my head from side to side
G A A Bm Bm D D
But I'm still praying for more, oh more...trouble with love.
BRIDGE: F#m F#m G G
Love couldn't see we were a million worlds apart;
Bm Bm G\... G
It simply reached across the night, and baby here we are
CHORUS 1: The trouble with love is it has no sense of direction
Our paths were never meant to cross.
The signs were so clear, but in a solitary second we were lost...
CHORUS 2: The trouble with love is it don't care what we were planning
Or what you thought you were waiting for
I'm shaking my head from side to side
A A Bm Bm
But I'm still praying for more, oh more...
Bm A G G
Trouble with love,
OUTRO: Bm A Bm\G\ G\...
