Capo 2
Intro: Dm Am C F (2x)
Am C
This is the face I wear treading the riptide
F Dm
Abysmal oceans where good girls go to die
Am C
I wanna love somebody
F
Wanna feel their love all on me
Dm
But after everything I still believe in TRUE LOVE
Am
Not being able to find it,
C
Damn, it tears me up
F
And I know it’s my fault
Dm
I know it’s my fault!
Am
Let’s take a trip ten thousand miles
C
Above the clouds, we can stay up here
F
Until we figure it out
Dm Am
Don’t wanna go home,
C F
Don’t wanna be alone (be alone)
Chorus:
Dm Am
I’ve got some damn Bad Intentions
C F
I’ve got some damn Bad Intentions
Dm Am
I got secrets I forgot to mention,
C F
Haven’t learned my lesson
Oho oooh
Dm Am
I’ve got some damn Bad Intentions
C F
I see the World in 25 dimensions
Dm Am
I’ve seen evil reign over perfection
C F
Blood heat over tension
Dm Am
And I know
C F
You say you love the way the storms blow
Dm Am
But when it comes, you close your window!
C F
You hate the fighting in the World
Dm Am
So you bring the battle home
C F
And you fight, until it’s yours,
Dm
Fight until I’m gone,
Am
And there’s holes on the walls
C
written in the sand -
F
Deception on my lips, and
Dm
There’s blood on your hands
Am
I’m tired of keeping lies,
C
You can see it in my eyes!
F
I don’t wanna die!
Repeat Chorus
Oho oooh
Dm Am
I know you’ve made a graveyard out of this song,
C F
I know I don’t feel too sober now
Dm Am
I wanna lie awake with your black soul
C F
Count your fears if you let me
Dm Am
Baby, I just want Your damn Bad Intentions
C F
I’ve got some damn Bad Intentions
Dm Am
I got some secrets I forgot to mention,
C F
Haven’t learned my lesson
Oho oooh
Dm Am
I’ve got some damn Bad Intentions
C F
I’ve got some damn Bad Intentions
Dm Am
I got some secrets I forgot to mention,
C F
Haven’t learned my lesson
Oho oooh oh!
