Gm C D# F

Gm                         C
Somebody told me you're a junkie now
                  D#
And that you've always been a junkie
        F
Man I never would've guessed that

Gm                         C
I used to sit around and wonder how
       D#                         F
People fall into a trap just to stumble off the footpath

         D#                   Gm
And it's all peace, love, and harmony
    D#          Gm
To fall Texas celebrity
D#                   Gm
Second nature to the youth scene
        F
It's a must see

(chorus)
Bb                 Gm
Understand it's a curse
              F#                Bb
You've got trouble in your blood
                      Gm
Write a song second verse
       F#
Underneath it there's a love

(postchorus)
Bb                         D#
  Recognize the things you do
Gm                            D#
  You're making mess for baby, you know who
Gm                        C
It sounds impossible but man it's true
              D# F
You are the bad,  the bad seed of this town


(Same as first verse)
I bought your record out on cherry red
It wasn't good well it was great
I believed it was the next step
Somebody phoned and said the dream is dead
He's just busy counting coppers
Man it makes me see red

(same as prechorus)
And it's all a part of a balance set
You don't deserve all the love you have
It's the fruit of life, but you throw it away like candy

(same as chorus)
Understand it's a curse
You've got trouble in your blood
Write a song second verse
Underneath it there's a love
Recognize the things you do
You're making mess for baby, you know who

(same as chorus)
Understand it's a curse
You've got trouble in your blood
Write a song second verse
Underneath it there's a love
Recognize the things you do
You're making mess for baby, you know who
It sounds impossible but man it's true
You are the bad, the bad seed of this town

Gm                             Bb
I've been boxing a match for one
                          C
Seven days in the Berlin sun
                                 Gm             F
All kinds of money and too much time I've been running
Gm                                  Bb
Around once with town in a circle game
                            C
Double fists and a single shame
                                 Gm            F
Oh, I am lost and lonely in the arms of London
       Bb
She cries

(Having lots of trouble here)

I never would've done it
I never would've lied
I never would've done it
I never would've slashed my parent's trust
I never would've slashed my parent's trust

I never would've done it
I never would've lied
I never would've done it
I never would've slashed my parent's trust
I never would've slashed my parent's trust
If I thought for a moment you would leave me with my big dreams

Bb
Slightly out of reach
D#
Techno on the beach
Bb                          D#
I bet you ever seen in my million dollar shorts
              Bb
You have to give it up and try
     D#
The future you deny
  Bb                          D#
Underneath it all there's a motive to the force

(chorus)
Understand it's a curse
You've got trouble in your blood
Write a song second verse
Underneath it there's a love
Recognize the things you do
You're making mess for baby, you know who

(chorus)
Understand it's a curse
You've got trouble in your blood
Write a song second verse
Underneath it there's a love
Recognize the things you do
You're making mess for baby, you know who
It sounds impossible but man it's true
You are the back, the backseat of this town
