BAD THINGS TO BE GOOD AT
AARON LEWIS
CAPO: 1st FRET
Intro
[D] [A] [D] [D]
Verse
[D] [C]
Well, I've never been one for holding my tongue
[G] [Em]
I call out a lie when I see one
[D]
I don't do what I'm told
[C]
Can't be bought or sold
[G] [Em]
A fool, I'm too old to be one
[Bm] [A]
And 'round here I'm known for standing alone
[D] [G]
And saying things that I won't take back
[D] [A]
And I hear people say that I'm stuck in my ways
[G] [A] [D]
Like that's a bad thing to be good at
Chorus
[G] [D]
Like that's a bad thing to be good at
[A] [D]
In a world full of liars and cheats
[G] [D]
Maybe I missed a lot more than I swung at
[Bm] [A]
But when I hit, I knocked out a few teeth
[D] [C]
Yeah, I'm no good at doing what I should
[G] [Em]
I wear my don't-care like a badge
[D] [A]
And I let freedom ring in these songs that I sing
[G] [A] [D]
And that ain't a bad thing to be good at
Instrumental
[D] [A] [D] [D]
Verse
[D] [C]
Now more than one time, I've been on the wrong side
[G] [Em]
Of the line that they drew just to cross me
[D] [C]
I paid all kinds of hell for just being myself
[G] [Em]
I'm still counting all that it cost me
[Bm] [A]
Yeah, and I felt the pull of the sheep and the wolves
[D] [G]
And I ain't one to run with the pack
[D] [A]
And I'm learning to pray and at the end of the day
[G] [A] [D]
That ain't a bad thing to be good at
Chorus
[G] [D]
That ain't a bad thing to be good at
[A] [D]
In a world full of liars and cheats
[G] [D]
Maybe I missed a lot more than I swung at
[Bm] [A]
But when I hit, I knocked out a few teeth
[G] [D] [C]
Yeah, I'm no good at doing what I should
[G] [Em]
I wear my don't-care like a badge
[D] [A]
And I let freedom ring in these songs that I sing
[G] [A] [D]
And that ain't a bad thing to be good at
Instrumental
[D] [C] [G] [Em]
[D] [A] [G] [A] [D]
Chorus
[D] [C]
Yeah, I'm no good at doing what I should
[G] [Em]
I wear my don't-care like a badge
[D] [A]
And I let freedom ring in these songs that I sing
[G] [A] [Bm]
And that ain't a bad thing to be good at
[D]
No, I let freedom ring
[A]
In these songs that I sing
[G] [A]
And that ain't a bad thing
N.C.
To be good at
