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

CHORDS - I don't know what you actually call some of these chords, so I
made up names where appropriate...

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
