Looking For Trouble
Steve Goodman

Am
The first time you take a drink
             E        Am
It makes you spit and sputter
E7                  Am
Shiver and shudder, mumble and mutter
Am                        Am/G
But the next one taste so sweet
             Dm
It makes you want another
    F                   E7      Am
And now you're drinking all the time

CHORUS
                     F           Am       E7                Am
If you're (Don't go) looking for trouble, trouble will find you
E7                     Am
Trouble will find you, trouble will find you
         F           Am        E7            Dm
Don't go looking for trouble - Let me remind you
F              E7               Am
You sure don't have to look too far

Am
The first time you shade the truth
            E7      Am
You want to run and hide
E7                             Am
Your tongue gets tied and your throat gets dry
Am                      Am/G
Then you start thinking maybe 
       Dm
No one knows that you've lied
    F          E7            Am
And now you're shady all the time.

REPEAT CHORUS
 
CHANGE
Dm                                 Am     E7      Am
Trouble will pin a tail on you and follow you all around
    Dm                                  B                  E
And catch you when your number's up and when your guard is down

Am                                      E7     Am
The first time you fall in love and the sky is sunny
E7                        Am                                   
She calls you honey, your jokes are funny
Am                                Dm
Then she reminds you she was only in it for the money
    F          E7               Am
And now you're drinking all the time

CHORUS
                     F           Am       E7                Am
If you're (Don't go) looking for trouble, trouble will find you
E7                     Am
Trouble will find you, trouble will find you
         F           Am        E7            Dm
Don't go looking for trouble - Let me remind you
F              E7               Am
You sure don't have to look too far

Then
 F               E7      Am
