Please email me if you have any comments or suggestions...

I heard this song on the radio earlier today and had it stuck in my head
all day. It's three seperate guitar parts I think, so I've tried to
simplify it to one so you can play and sing along on an acoustic.

VERSE

        D5D5                                                          A5A5
There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
          G5G5                                      D5D5
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything

And the talkin' leads to touchin'
        A5A5
and the touchin' leads to sex
       G5G5                         D5D5
and then there is no mystery left


CHORUS

         D MajorD
And it's bad news
         A augmentedA
Baby I'm bad news
         G+G                           D MajorD
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

VERSE

  D5D5                                        A5A5
I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
         G5G5                                               D5D5
but just bein' around you offers me another form of relief

When the lonliness leads to bad dreams
        A5A5
and the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
      G5G5                        D5D5
and I call you and say "C'MERE!"


CHORUS

         D MajorD
And it's bad news
         A augmentedA
Baby I'm bad news
         G+G                           D MajorD
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

And it's bad news
          A augmentedA
Baby it's bad news
          G+G                           D MajorD
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news

      B5B5  Db5Db5 D5D5          A5A5        D5D5
for a walking corpse like me - like you

VERSE

          D5D5
There's a pretty young thing in front of you     (Play this part softly)
          A5A5
and she's real pretty and she's real into you
          G5G5                          D5D5
and then she's sleepin' inside of you

and the talkin' leads to touchin'
        A5A5
and the touchin' leads to sex
      G5G5                         D5D5
and then there is no mystery left


CHORUS

         D MajorD
And it's bad news
        A augmentedA
I don't blame you
         G+G                           D MajorD
I do the same thing I get lonely too

And you're bad news
                      A augmentedA
My friends tell me to leave you
            G+G                            D MajorD
That you're bad news, bad news, bad news
