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
There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left
CHORUS
And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news
THEN THIS AGAIN

VERSE
I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
but just bein' around you offers me another form of relief
When the lonliness leads to bad dreams
and the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
and I call you and say "C'MERE!"
CHORUS
And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news
And it's bad news
Baby it's bad news
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news
BRIDGE
'Cause you're just damage con-trol (Palm mute this part)
for a walking corpse like me - like you
INTERLUDE
TO
'Cause we'll all be
F#5*
Portions for foxes
Yeah we'll all be

VERSE
There's a pretty young thing in front of you (Play this part softly)
and she's real pretty and she's real into you
and then she's sleepin' inside of you
and the talkin' leads to touchin'
and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left
CHORUS
And it's bad news
I don't blame you
I do the same thing I get lonely too
And you're bad news
My friends tell me to leave you
That you're bad news, bad news, bad news
OUTRO
You're bad news
Baby you're bad news
and you're bad news
Baby you're bad news
and you're bad news
I don't care I like you
and you're bad news
I don't care I like you
I like you
