Bad Wisdom Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bb][C][Bb][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mother [Bb]the doctor
knows [C]something [G]is wrong
Cause my [Bb]body has strange
[C]informa[G]tion
He's looked [Bb]in my eyes
and knows [C]I'm not [G]a child
But he [Bb]doesn't dare ask
[C]the right [G]question

[Verse 2]
[G]Mother [Bb]my friends are no
[C]longer my friend[G]s
And the [Bb]games we once played
[C]have no mean[G]ing
I've gone serious [Bb]and shy
and they [C]can't figure why
[G]So they've lef[Bb]t me to my
[C]own day[G]dreaming

[Verse 3]
What [C]price to pay
For [Cm]bad wisdom
What [C]price to pay
For [Cm]bad wisdom
Too young [C]to know
Too much [Cm]too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad [G]wisdom[Bb]
[C][G][Bb][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Mother [Bb]you've taught
me the [C]laws are [G]so fine
If I'm [Bb]good that I will [C]be protec[G]ted
I've fallen through the crack [Bb]and
there's [C]no get[G]ting back
And I'll [Bb]never trust whoever
[C]gets [G]elected

[Verse 5]
[G]Mother [Bb]your eyes have gone
[C]suddenly [G]cold
And it [Bb]wasn't what I was [C]expecting
[G]Once I did[Bb] think that I'd
[C]find comfort there
[G]And inste[Bb]ad you've gone
hard [C]and suspect[G]ing

[Verse 6]
What [C]price to pay
For [Cm]bad wisdom
What [C]price to pay
For [Cm]bad wisdom
Too young to know
[C]Too much too soon
[Cm]Bad wisdom
Bad [Gm]wisdom[Bb]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Bb][C]
[G][Bb][C][G][Bb][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[G]Mother [Gm]I'm cut at the root like [G]a weed
Cause there's [Bb]no one
to hear [C]my small [G]story
Just like [Bb]a woman who wa[C]lks in the str[G]eet
I will [Bb]pay for my life w[C]ith my b[G]ody

[Verse 8]
What [C]price [Cm]to pay[C]
For [Cm]bad wisdom
What [C]price [Cm]to pay[C]
For [Cm]bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too [C]much too soon
[Cm]Bad wisdom
Bad [G]wisdom[Bb]
