VERSE ONE:

E     F#m         C#m
  The king of the jailhouse
E         F#m          C#m
  And the queen of the road
E       F#m         C#m         F#m         E C#m A
  Think sharing the burden will lighten the load
E         F#m           C#m
  So they pack up their troubles
E       F#m      C#m
  In an old Cadillac
E        F#m        C#m      F#m          E C#m A
  That's her in the mirror, asleep in the back

CHORUS:

              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
       E       C#m  A
That I can't see
       E       C#m  A
That I can't see


VERSE TWO:

E          F#m            C#m
  And they don't give the answers
E        F#m        C#m
  At the end of the test
E        F#m          C#m             F#m          E C#m A
  So you can't simply stand there and hope for the best
E            F#m       C#m   
  So wake me up at the border
E         F#m       C#m        
  When we reach Mexico
E      F#m        C#m      F#m        E C#m A
  I'll tell you a secret I don't even know


CHORUS:

              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
       E       C#m  A
That I can't see
       E       C#m  A
That I can't see


BRIDGE:

E                    D      A
Honey, I don't wanna turn around
       F#m         E       D C A 
And go back there, do you?
E                          D         A
I think you know something I don't know
       F#m   E  C#m F#m
That I need to


CHORUS:

              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
              E         C#m        A
Baby, there's something wrong with me
       E       C#m  A
That I can't see
       E       C#m  A
That I can't see
       E       C#m  A
That I can't see
