Trouble Child chords by Joni Mitchell

Intro:
Bb - C - Bb - C - Bb
C - Bb - C - Bb (3x)

D/C          C
Up in the sterilized room
      Am7
Where they let you be lazy
F7               C
Know-ing your attitudes are wrong
       Am7
And you gotta change, and it's not easy

F7                G
Drag-ons shining with all values known
F7                G  F G C
Daz-zling you, keeping you from your own
F7               C
Where is the lion in you to de-fy him
         Am7
When you're this weak and this spacey?

  D/C
So what are you gonna do about it
C       Am7
You can't live life and you can't leave it
  F7              C
Ad-vice and religion you can't take it
     Am7
You can't seem to believe it

  F7            G
The pea-cock is afraid to pa-rade
    F7           G F G C
You're un-der the thumb of a maid
  F7                 C
You real-ly can't give love in this con-di-tion
     Am7
Still you know how you need it

       C   G7/B
Then open and close  you
               Am7
Then they talk like they know  you
        G
They don't know you
              C   G7/B
They're friends and they're foes too, trouble child,
G/D         Dsus4     G
 Brea-king like the waves at Malibu

Bb - C - Bb - C - Bb
C - Bb - C - Bb (3x)

  D/C
So why does it come as such a shock
C          Am7
 To know you really have no one?
F7            C
On-ly a river of changing fa-ces
Am7
  Looking for an ocean

   F7             G
They tric-kle through your leaky plans
    F7        G F G
Another dream over the dam
C     F7
And you're ly-ing in some room
         C      Am7
Feeling like your right to be hu-man
       G
Is going over too

         C  G7/B
But some are gonna knock  you
          Am7
And some'll try and  clock you
G
 You know it's really hard
 C         G7/B
To talk sense to you,  trouble child
G/D         Dsus4     G
  Breaking like the waves at Malibu

Bb - C - Bb - C - Bb
C - Bb - C - Bb (2x)
