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
