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.

STANDARD TUNING

VERSE

    D5                             A5
There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
     G5                   D5
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything

And the talkin' leads to touchin'
    A5
and the touchin' leads to sex
    G5             D5
and then there is no mystery left


CHORUS

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

VERSE

 D5                    A5
I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
     G5                        D5
but just bein' around you offers me another form of relief

When the lonliness leads to bad dreams
    A5
and the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
   G5            D5
and I call you and say "C'MERE!"


CHORUS

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

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


BRIDGE

          B5 Db5 D5 A5
'Cause you're just damage con-trol      (Palm mute this part)
   B5 Db5 D5     A5    D5
for a walking corpse like me - like you

VERSE

     D5
There's a pretty young thing in front of you   (Play this part softly)
     A5
and she's real pretty and she's real into you
     G5             D5
and then she's sleepin' inside of you

and the talkin' leads to touchin'
    A5
and the touchin' leads to sex
   G5             D5
and then there is no mystery left


CHORUS

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

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