B          E                                                  B
Baby I was talking all night long trying to take it home long distance
          E                                   B
I guess I lost my connection I heard you slip away
            E                 F#            E
And then it came in loud and clear you only hear what you want to hear
    G                   F#                     B
And everyBody here says sonny Boy your on your way
                   E     E7                   B           B7
There's trouble in paradise the story don't  sound too nice
                   F#                             B   B7
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
                   E      E7               B               B7
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
               F#                              B
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
                  E                                             B

it
              E                                 B
Now you wanna make me a hero put me in a shinny suit
      E                           F#
Now I don't know where to put the blame
        E
I guess everybody needs to have a name
G       F#                      B
But you never get to count the loot
                   E     E7                  B            B7
There's trouble in paradise the story don't  sound too nice
                   F#                             B  B7
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
                   E   E7                  B            B7
There's trouble in paradise you never turn out those lights
                F#                             B
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room

Bm E  Bm E Bm E Bm E

There's trouble

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

SOLO
            E                                       B
You've been hanging at the stage door waving at the limousine
         E                                       B
It's the same cat life that we use in grave yard scenes
                    E
So tomorrow morning you go Back to school
                         B
Acting as if nothing has changed
             G                      F#                   B
Well there's no use playing if your winning at a losing game
                    E   E7                    B          B7
There's trouBle in paradise the story don't  sound too nice
                   F#                             B B7
And you just can't sleep at night in a solid gold room
                   E     E7                B            B7
There's trouBle in paradise you never turn out those lights
                F#                             B
You just can't close your eyes in a solid gold room
