Gbm              E
Babe I got you bad
Dreaming blood-wet dreams
only madmen have
               D
Baby I got you bad
                      Dm
I wish to God I never had
                        A
And it makes me feel so sad,
                  E
O, Baby I got you bad
                     A
Yeah, Babe I got you bad

I long for your kiss,
for the turn of your mouth
Your body is a long thing
Heading South
And I don't know what I'm talking about
All of my words have gone mad
Ah, baby I got you bad

Seasons have gone wrong
And I lay me down in a bed of snow
Darling, since you've been gone
well my hands, they don't know where to go
And all of my teeth are bared,
I got you so much I'm scared
Ah, baby I got you bad

D                    A
With the sweep of my hand
                   E
I undid all the plans
                             A
that explode at the moment I kissed you
                  D
on your small hot mouth
         A
and your caramel limbs
         E
that are hymns to the glory that is you.
E
Look at me darlin' it's sad sad sad
E
Look at me darlin' it's sad sad sad
                A
Baby I got you bad

Gbm                     E
Smoke bilowing from the bridges
and the rivers we swim in are boiling
                              D
My hands are reaching for you everywhere
                                 Dm
but you're not there, or you're recoiling
                                A
and a weary moon dangles from a cloud
                          E
Oh honey, I know it's not allowed
                 A
To say I got you bad.

I got you bad...
I got you bad...
I got you bad...
[Repeat and fade]
