[Intro]
E A E
[Verse 1]
E A
Lock the door leave the light on
E
Nobody needs to know that you're not home
A
Jump in the car with a busted headlight
A
Start it up and head on down the road
E A
Count every stop sign you're passing
E A
Watch them fading to the rearview lights
A
23 and counting
B
We're going to make the county line tonight
C#m A
And I know I should be at home
B C#m A
I know I should be at home
[Chorus]
E A E
You're a bad thing honey
A E
And I can't say no to you
A E
You've got me spinning around all upside down
A
Hell, what's a man to do?
E A E
Yeah you're a bad thing baby
A E
You've got me turned inside out
A E
And I've been racking my mind a thousand times
A
For something I'll never figure out
E A E A E
Yeah you're a bad thing baby
[Verse 2]
E A
Drove 'till we were running on empty
E A
3 AM not a gas station in sight
A
Little highway motel room
E
Smells like cigarettes and we got into a fight
E
Said I think I'm going crazy
A
Oh I don't even have a dollar to my name
A
But I like the way she holds me
B
So I keep doing it and doing it and doing it again
C#m A
And I know I should be at home
B C#m A
I know I should be at home
[Chorus]
E A E
But you're a bad thing honey
A E
And I can't say no to you
A E
You've got me spinning around all upside down
A
Hell, what's a man to do?
E A E
Yeah you're a bad thing baby
A E
You've got me turned inside out
A E
And I've been racking my mind a thousand times
B A
For something I'll never figure out
E A E
Yeah you're a bad thing baby
A E A E
Yeah you're a bad thing
