[Verse 1]
E
I called her up, she said that she couldn’t talk

I waited 5 minutes then jumped in my car

Sped down the highway where I thought that she was
E
Found her in earrings I never saw before

G                                         F#                                         E

And she gives me a million

But I can’t, ’cause she’s my troublemaker

And we’re stuck in a moment

Heart like a stolen car and I can’t control it
D
I should really, really hate her
A                                                             E
But I can’t, cause she’s my troublemaker
