trouble in paradise – bruce springsteen

A
you do the drying , i’ll do the dishes
F#m E
who’ll do the crying when all the wishes don’t come true
A
you do the washing , i’ll do the folding
F#m E
whose heart is breaking when whose arms are holding someone new
D
sittin’ on a peaceful lake sunnin’
F#m
didn’t hear the roar of the waterfall coming
Bm E
when it’s all a storybook story
Bm E
when it’s all so easy and nice
A
here comes trouble in paradise

you did the dusting , i did the sweeping
F#m E
you did the driving oh and i did the sleeping a little too long
D
on a picnic ’neath the sky so blue
F#m
we didn’t see the rain and heartache coming through
Bm E
when it’s all an old black and white movie
Bm E
and you’re sure you’ve seen the ending twice
A D
here comes trouble in paradise

you said everything was fine
A
i’m sorry , baby , i didn’t see the signs

oh so beautifully you read your lines
C#m D
but in a play where the hero has no vice
C#m D
and love comes without a price
A
so does trouble in paradise

don’t matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping
F#m E
who did the trusting or who did the cheating when it’s all gone
D
laying in a field on a summer’s day
F#m
waitin’ for those gray skies to clear away
Bm E
knowing all love’s glory and beauty
Bm E
can vanish before you think twice
A
leaving trouble in paradise

now we share the laughing , we share the joking
F#m E A
oh we do the sleeping with one eye open
