Trouble Doll

Intro: E, F#m, E, F#m


Verse 1:
E
Trouble doll, you look so pretty 
when you’re sad
And the laughs that we had have 
       F#m
turned to madness
E
Lovers come to call and you’re voice
 gets soft
In the painted glass behind your 
F#m
lashes
              A
Though angels pray for you
                    F#m
Only the blues could save you


Verse 2:
  E
If only for a second in the 
shimmering light
When the night’s collapsed, but it 
            F#m
don’t shatter or sting
       E
It’s a porcelain song from 
marionette in a dangerous sway
                F#m
As if under God’s own strings
                 A
Salvation watches over you
Continúa después del anuncio
               F#m
Redemption only borrows you
                           (B)
A little at a time in this world


Chorus:
    F#m         A       E  F#m
Real gone, real gone girl.


Verse 3:
E
Standin’ high above on that bridge 
in St. Charles
Tell the truth, love, whose death 
      F#m
did you see?
       E
All the art on the wall and the 
quiet down the hall
Send a sinking feeling to a 
         F#m
different story
           A
My lonesome prays for you
                    F#m
In hours when there’s only you


Verse 4:
       E
Well the ghost of a drink on the 
counter by the sink
Is smeared, warm and full of empty 
F#m
promises
      E
It’s a well-worn poem where the 
words stick together

But the meaning seems numb,
                F#m
‘Til the morning washes
             A
All down and over you
             F#m
Heartache sure owes you
                         (B)
All the happiness in this world


Chorus:
    F#m         A       E  F#m   
Real gone, real gone girl.
E  F#m



Outro:
E                        (Repeated 
with F#m)
Sha la la a little light
