[Verse]
Dm
I come up hard baby, but now I’m cool
Dm
I didn’t make it sugar, playin’ by the rules
Dm
I come up hard baby, but now I’m fine
Dm
I’m checkin’ trouble sugar, movin’ down the line
Dm
I come up hard baby, but that’s okay
Dm
‘Cause Trouble Man, don’t get in my way

[Bridge]
G
I come up hard baby, I’ve been for real, baby
G
Gonna keep movin’, gonna go to town
G
I come up hard, I come up gettin’ down
G
There’s only three things that’s for sure
G
Taxes, death and trouble, oh

[Chorus]
Dm
This I know, baby, this I know, sugar
A7
Girl, ain’t gon’ let it sweat me, babe
Dm
Got me singin’, yeah, yeah

[Verse]
Dm
Come up hard, baby, I had to fight
Dm
Took care my business with all my might
Dm
I come off har- come-off-hard, I had to win
Dm
Then start all over and win again
Dm
I come up hard but that’s okay
Dm
‘Cause Trouble Man don’t get in my way, hey, hey
Dm
I know some places and I’ve seen some faces
Dm
I got good connections, they take my directions
Dm
What people say, that’s okay, they don’t bother me, no
Dm
I’m ready to make it, don’t care what the weather
Dm
Don’t care ’bout no trouble, got myself together
Dm
I feel the kind of protection that’s all around me

[Bridge]
G
I come up hard, baby, I’ve been for real, baby
G
With the trouble mind, I’m movin’, goin’ to town
G
I come up hard, I come up gettin’ down
G
There’s only three things for sure
G
Taxes, death and trouble, oh

[Chorus]
Dm
This I know, baby, ooh, this I’ve known, baby
A7
Ain’t gon’ let it sweat me, baby Woo
Oh Lord, baby
Dm
Ooh, I’ve come up hard, but now I’m cool
Dm
I didn’t make it, baby, playin’ by the rules
Dm
Come up hard, baby, now I’m fine
Dm
I’m checkin’ trouble, sugar, hey, movin’ down the line, oh
