[Intro]
D   G     D   G     D   G     D   G

[Verse]
            D      G                      D   G
From the Peninsula,  we stare across the bay
            D      G                  D   G
From the Peninsula, we talk of yesterday
        Em              A        Em                          A
Of the parties that are over and who the midnight boys took home
F#m                            Bm                G             A  A7  A  A7
And now I sit and watch street walkers standing next to a pay phone

[Verse]
            D            G                        D   G
Out for a moonlight swim,  she glides across the bay
            D      G                             D   G
We took a motorcar,  we said we'd meet you half way
        Em            A        Em                          A
And we waited for an hour and they searched the whoel next day
F#m                 Bm                  G               A  A7  A  A7
They never found no body, some parties just end up that way
[Chorus]
D                       C   Em
When you go out with a bad boy
G                               A
You do things you thought you shouldn't do
D                       C   Em
When you go out with a bad girl
G                               A         A7
You do things you thought you wouldn't do
                  A         A7
You thought you couldn't do

[Verse]
         D          G                       D   G
Like a Cristal Ship,  the poets words will stay
            D            G                   D   G
And like a teenage nymph,  he gave to much away
             Em              A            Em               A
They use to find him in the morning, his head held in his hand
   F#m              Bm
And he'd be crying about Lolita
              G                    A  A7  A  A7
He said no one's ever gonna understand, 

[Verse]
              D      G                                D   G
He'd talk of Indians,  he said they never lose their way
         D            G                      D   G
But with us white men,  the magic can't go away
             Em              A                Em                     A
Some say the opium drove him crazy, some say Beaujolais drove him insane
                F#m                 Bm
But there's an Indian girl called Lolita 
                G                   A  A7  A  A7
Dancing down in Mexico in steaming rain

[Chorus]
D                       C   Em
When you go out with a bad boy
G                               A
You do things you thought you shouldn't do
D                       C   Em
When you go out with a bad girl
G                               A         A7
You do things you thought you wouldn't do
                  A         A7
You thought you couldn't do

[Interlude]
F  G  D     F  G  D    F  G  D     F  G  D

[Verse]
              D           G                D   G
There's no a word of true,  in anything I say
              D        G                        D   G
And I can't tell a lie,  I was brought up that way
               Em               A             Em                A
You see, these stories have no meaning except for what you can see
          F#m              Bm
Of Party Girls and Broken Poets
                G                      A  A7  A  A7
They're not too different from you and me

[Chorus]
D                       C   Em
When you go out with a bad boy
G                               A
You do things you thought you shouldn't do
D                       C   Em
When you go out with a bad girl
G                               A         A7
You do things you thought you wouldn't do
                  A         A7
You thought you couldn't do

[Outro]
                  A         A7
You thought you couldn't do
                  A         A7
You thought you couldn't do
D                       C   Em     G     A
When you go out with a bad boy
D                       C   Em     G     A
When you go out with a bad girl
D                       C   Em     G     A
When you go out with a bad boy
D                       C   Em     G     A
