[Verse 1]
       C
I grew up pretendin' sticks were
        Am
Little guns
        C
I would point 'em at my dad, and
          G
He'd get mad
               F             C
'Cause God forbid I hurt someone
C                   Am
I'd hurt anyone I could
C                    G            F
Anyone who got too close, and anyone
                 C
 Who wouldn't look
        C
I was born into a one-hundred-year
  Am
Storm
         C
Foot of ice across Vermont
                                G
And in that dark, and in that frost
              F
 A heart was formed
                C
Malcontented and unwarm
G               F             C
You were unsuspectin', not unwarned


[Chorus]
F                       C    G
That I'm the trouble ahead, that I
                Am
Scream in my sleep
F                       C
You're puttin' money on red, I'm a
      G               Am
Sure bet at a losin' streak
F                    C           G
I keep showin' you doors, but you
              Am
Can't open them up
F                            C
'Cause it gеts harder to see me the
   G               Am
Closеr you try to look


[Post-Chorus]
F                               C
I just live here, babe, but you're
        G              Am
The one who decided to knock
C
You knocked


[Verse 2]
C                                Am
Have you ever stared directly at the
 Sun?
C
Have you ever shared some closeness
        Am
 So exposed
             G              F
To have it spit back by someone?
                      C
So, forgive me if I jump
       Am              C
At the rattle of your keys
              Am
"Oh, are you leavin'?," "No, babe
 G              F
I'm just wakin' up"
          C
And now what?
         Am                 C
I'm left starin' at the ceilin'
              Am               G
Listin' reasons you should pack
               F
All your shit up


[Chorus]
F                       C
That I'm the trouble ahead, that I
 G             Am
Scream in my sleep
F                       C
You're puttin' money on red, I'm a
      G               Am
Sure bet at a losin' streak
F                    C        G
I keep showin' you doors, but you
                Am
Can't open them up
F                            C
'Cause it gеts harder to see me the
   G               Am
Closеr you try to look


[Post-Chorus]
        F
I just live here, babe, but you're
 C               G       Am
The one who decided to knock
    C
You knocked


 C  F  C  F  G  Am


[Bridge]
          C
I'll be gone so long before the
Anger comes
         C
I'll be only what you've known of me
       Am
 'Til now
           G                  F
Oh, how I hope you're moving on


[Chorus]
F                       C         G
'Cause I'm the trouble ahead, and I
              Am
Scream in my sleep
F                       C
You're puttin' money on red, I'm a
      G                Am
Sure bet at a losin' streak
F                    C       G
I keep showin' you doors, but you
              Am
Can't open them up
F                           C
'Cause it gеts harder to see me the
  G               Am
Closеr you try to look


[Post-Chorus]
        F                      C
I just live here, babe, but you're
The one
        F                      C
I just live here, babe, but you're
The one
        F                      G
I just live here, babe, but you're
The one
