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

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

And it's bad news

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

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'

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