B5          E5                                                  B5
Baby I was talking all night long trying to take it home long distance
          E5                                   B5
I guess I lost my connection I heard you slip away
            E5                 F#5            E5
And then it came in loud and clear you only hear what you want to hear
    G5                   F#5                     B5
And everyBody here says sonny Boy your on your way
                   E5     E5                   B5           B5
There's trouble in paradise the story don't  sound too nice
                   F#5                             B5   B5
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
                   E5      E5               B5               B5
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
               F#5                              B5
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
                  E5                                             B5
Baby you've been looking at the future and I know you think you found
it
              E5                                 B5
Now you wanna make me a hero put me in a shinny suit
      E5                           F#5
Now I don't know where to put the blame
        E5
I guess everybody needs to have a name
G5       F#5                      B5
But you never get to count the loot
                   E5     E5                  B5            B5
There's trouble in paradise the story don't  sound too nice
                   F#5                             B5  B5
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
                   E5   E5                  B5            B5
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
                F#5                             B5
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room

B5 E5  B5 E5 B5 E5 B5 E5

There's trouble

B5        E5                B5   E5
Where the warm winds don't blow
B5      E5                   B5       E5
And the stars don't seem to shine so bright
B5     E5         B5        B5     E5      B5     E5     B5 E5
Nearly everybody knows     nearly nobody minds

SOLO
            E5                                       B5
You've been hanging at the stage door waving at the limousine
         E5                                       B5
It's the same cat life that we use in grave yard scenes
                    E5
So tomorrow morning you go Back to school
                         B5
Acting as if nothing has changed
             G5                      F#5                   B5
Well there's no use playing if your winning at a losing game
                    E5   E5                    B5          B5
There's trouBle in paradise the story don't  sound too nice
                   F#5                             B5 B5
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
                   E5     E5                B5            B5
There's trouBle in paradise you never turn out those lights
                F#5                             B5
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
