The Bad Thing Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Do the b[B]ad thing
[Am]Take off your [G]wedd[F#]ing ring
[Em]But it won't make it[B]
that much easi[Am]er
It might make it [G]worse[F#]

[Verse 1]
Oh, the [Dm]night's like a whirlwind
Somebody's girlfriend's [Am]talking to me,
but it's alright
She's saying that he's [Dm]not gonna slap me
or try to attack me
[Am]He's not the jealous type
And I [Dm]only need to get half an [Am]excuse
and I'm away
But [Dm]when there's no excuses,
that's much [Am]easier to say

[Bridge 1]
I've been [Dm]before
And all these capers [Am]make us to look
for it to ig[Dm]nore
See, she's talking but
I'm [Am]not entirely sure (ah)

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][G][F#]

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Do the b[B]ad thing
[Am]Take off your [G]wedd[F#]ing ring
[Em]But it won't make it[B]
that much easi[Am]er
It might make it [G]worse[F#]

[Verse 2]
Oh, a [Dm]sudden disheartener
Somebody's partner's [Am]talking to me,
But I don't know that is what she [Dm]isn't
She murmurs things to confirm that
[Am]the tragedy is true
And I [Dm]knew, how could she not?
She could have [Am]anyone she wants
And I'm [Dm]struggling to think of
an [Am]immediate response

[Bridge 2]
Like, "I don't [Dm]mind, it'd be a big mistake
for [Am]you to wait
And let me waste [Dm]your time
Really, love, it's [Am]fine"

[Interlude 2]
I said, "Really, love, it's
[Dm](fine")[Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][G][F#]

[Outro 1]
And then the [Em]first time it occurred
that there was [B]something to destroy
I [Am]knew before the invitation
[G]that there was this [F#]ploy
Oh, but she [Em]carried on suggestin',
a [B]struggle to refuse
She [Am]said, "It's the red wine this time"
But [G]that is no [F#]excuse
[Em]
