Tom Waits - Bad As Me

“bad as me”

tempo : 120

F5
youre the head on the spear
youre the nail on the cross
youre the fly in my beer
E5
youre the key that got lost
F5
youre the letter from jesus on the bathroom wall
E5
youre mother superior in only a bra
youre the samex3 kind of bad as me
youre the samex3 kind of bad as me

F5
im the hat on the bed
im the coffee instead
E5
the fish or cut bait
im the detective up late
F5
im the blood on the floor
the thunder and the roar
E5
the boat that wont sink
i just wont sleep a wink
F5
youre the same kind of bad as me

no good you say
well thats good enough for me

youre the wreath that caught fire
youre the preach to the choir
you bite down on the sheet
but your teeth have been wired
you skid in the rain
youre trying to shift
youre grinding the gears
youre trying to shift
and youre the same kind of bad as me

they told me you were no good
i know youll take care of all my needs
youre the same kind of bad as me

im the mattress in the back
im the old gunnysack
im the one with the gun
most likely to run
im the car in the weeds
if you cut me ill bleed
youre the same kind of bad as me
youre the same kind of bad as me
