Bad Thing Chords

   
Amazin Second Album… hawayyyy the Monkeys!! 

Chorus:

Em        Bm
  Do the bad thing
Am             G       F#  
  Take off your wedding ring
Em                Bm
 But it wont make it that much easier
Am                     G F# 
 It might make it worse


Verse1:         (rhythm |Dm 2 3 C| A 2 3 4|Dm 2 3 C|A 2 3 4|

Dm                                     
The night's like a whirlwind
C              A
Somebody's girlfriend is talking to me
Dm                       C                         A
But it's alright , she's saying that he's not that he's gonna slap me
                          A
Or try to attack me, he's not the jealous type

BRIDGE:  heavy downstrokes!

Dm                                                     Am
I've been before and all these capers makers to the floor
 Dm                                                     Am
Then to ignore, she's talking but I'm not entirely sure
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/arctic_monkeys/bad_thing_crd.html ]
Dm Am, Dm Am, Dm Am, F# G

CHORUS: (same progression Em, Bm, Am, G F# x2)

Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it wont make it that much easier
It might make it worse

Verse2: 

Dm (strum once, then bass only!)
Somebody's partner is talking to me
But I don't that is what she isn't
She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants
And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response

Bridge: Dm Am

Like I don't mind
Be a big mistake for you to wait and help me waste your time
Really love it's fine
Said really love it's fine

Dm Am x 3 F# G

FINAL CHORUS: same chords as original chorus, Em. Bm, Am, G F#

And the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Oh but she carried on suggesting
I struggled to refuse
She said it's the red wine this time
But that is no excuse

Em
