[Verse]
E
Stuck in speed bump city Where the only thing that’s pretty
A E
Is the thought of getting out
E
There’s a tower block overhead All you’ve got’s your benefits
A E
And you’re barely scraping by
[Chorus]
A
In this trouble town
C E
Troubles are found
A
In this trouble town
C E
Words do get ’round
[Verse]
E
Kick the bottom make troubles flee Smoke until our eyes would bleed
A E
Sparkle pop the seed
E
Hear the sirens down the street The kids get light on their feet
A E
Or they’ll be in the back seat
[Bridge]
A
In this trouble town
C E
Troubles are found
D
Sitting on the pavement
A
Boy you’ve missed your payment
A E
And they’re gonna find you soon
D
If there’s a beating in the rain
A
If there’s a little bit of pain, man
A E
You’re the one it happens to
[Verse]
E
If I talk of getting out I only hear the laughter loud
A E
It’s got an ugly echo
E
Somewhere there’s a secret road To take me far away I know
A E
But ’til then I am hollow
[Chorus]
A
In this trouble town
C E
Troubles are found
A
In this trouble town
C E
Words do get ’round
D
Sitting on the pavement
A
Boy you’ve missed your payment
A E
And they’re gonna find you soon
D
If there’s a beating in the streets
A
If there’s a feeling of defeat
A E
You’re the one it happens to
E
Stuck in speed bump city Where the only thing that’s pretty
A E
Is the thought of getting out
