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.
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
THEN THIS AGAIN

[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
[Interlude]
D5 E5 D5 Db5 B5 Db5 D5 E5
BACK TO BRIDGE
A5 Db5 D5
'Cause we'll all be
E5 F#5* E5 D5
Portions for foxes
D5 Db5
Yeah we'll all be

[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
[Outro]
You're bad news
G
Baby you're bad news
D
and you're bad news
G
Baby you're bad news
D
and you're bad news
G
I don't care I like you
D
and you're bad news
G
I don't care I like you
A D
I like you

So.... the opening is all harmonics on the seventh fret. Use the D G B strings
Cheers

Good tab but it's missing a lot of the guitar parts. It's good for playing on your own though!
