The Bad List (part. Z Berg / Ryan Ross)

[Intro] E  A  F#m

           E               F#m
If it were me, I'd write another 
song
G#m                  A
Something in a major key
F#m                   A        E
You and I will always be "the dream"
         E                   F#m
It was a scream when we were young 
and dumb
G#m             A
Acid on Topanga Beach
F#m                     A        E
In my mind we'll always be that free

    Am                 E
But something changed along the way
Am                     B
Winter never turned to Spring

     E
It's Christmas Eve, you set the 
house on fire
      A
It's snowing on palm trees
    Am
The river has run dry
   E
So let me set you free
A
Let me help you please
Am                        E
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve

         E                 F#m
All the lights are on, but no one's 
home
G#m                   A
Out cold on my frozen feet
F#m                     A         
With nothing lying underneath the 
E
tree
         E               F#m
The only soul I knew to telephone
G#m                        A
Knows I'm lying through my teeth
F#m                      A       
We were always thick as thieves, 
        E
you and me

    Am                 E
But something changed along the way
Am                     B
Winter never turned to Spring

     E
It's Christmas Eve, you set the 
house on fire
      A
It's snowing on palm trees
      Am
If you stay, you're gonna die
   E
So let me help you please
A
Let me help you leave
Am                        E
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve

A
But there's no bandage
B
There ain't no ballad
E
To fix the sadness
C#m
So happy Christmas
F#m
Back on the bad list
B
I don't want no gifts
E
Just a first kiss
C#m
For the new year
E
Just a first kiss
C#m
To face the new year

( E  C#m  E )

           E               F#m
If it were me, I'd write another 
song
A          Am
Say goodbye
