Poison - Bad To Be Good Chords

[Intro]
| Em  | Em  | Em  | Em  |
 
           Em
There's an alley cat slowly walking down a dirty street
            Em
Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat
         Em
You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight
              Em
You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night
 Em
Wowowow, kick it
 
 
[Instrumental]
| Em  | Em  | Em  | Em    G  |
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
 You're dancing in fire, baby
             G                  Em
When you're taking it to the streets
               Em
Yeah to the streets
A
 Baby better be better watch your back
 G            Em
Fast on your feet
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                G
Cause they're wheelin' dealin'
  G
Cheatin' stealin'
  A           G          D/F#
Child you're gonna learn
 
 
 
[Chorus]
              Em             D
You gotta be bad to be good
A         G                     Em
 If you know what I'm talkin' about
         D
What's that
A      G
 So I say it again
              Em             D    A
You gotta be bad to be good
G                    Em
 In the dead of the night
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
 When you got nothin' baby
         G          Em                   D/F#
You got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose
A
 It's an eye for an eye baby
       G           Em
And a tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        G
If you got nine lives you might survive
       A                    G           D/F#
Cause nothing's free on the other side
 
 
 
[Chorus]
              Em             D
You gotta be bad to be good
A         G                     Em
 If you know what I'm talkin' about
         D
What's that
A              G    D/F#
 So I say it again
              Em             D
You gotta be bad to be good
A         G                     Em
 If you know what I'm talkin' about
         D
What's that
A      G
 So I say it again
 
 
[Bridge]
  G
Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin'

Just to stay alive

[Verse 3]
A
 They got love for sale, yes for sale
        G               Em    D/F#
On the New York subway line
A
 Watch the working girls hanging out
          G                    Em
Turning tricks underneath the lights,
        Em
Oh the lights
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
One step from hell
                         A
The poor men sell their soul for a taste of wine
 
 
[Chorus]
              Em             D
You gotta be bad to be good
A         G                     Em
 If you know what I'm talkin' about
         D
What's that
A              G    D/F#
 So I say it again
              Em             D
You gotta be bad to be good
A         G                     Em
 If you know what I'm talkin' about
         D
What's that
A      G       D/F#
 So I say it again
 Em             D    A    G    D/F#
Bad to be good
              Em             D    A    G    D/F#
You gotta be bad to be good
 Em             D    A    G    D/F#
Bad to be good
              Em
You gotta be bad to be good
         D
What's that
A              G    D/F#
 So I say it again
 
 
[Outro]
           G
When it's said and done and you're on the run
        A              G          D/F#    Em
And the only law comes under the gun
