Song: Not A Bad Thing  
Intro - D - A 
 Asus= x02230
AI'm sittin' in this Asuscafe,
PAeople talkin' so loud I can't hear myself thDink,
That's Anot a bad thing,
The Acoffee keeps on Asuscoming,
The Awaiter who keeps smilin' as, 
I'm ridin' on a river of caDffeine,
An' that's Dnot a bad thAing,
I uEsed to feel sorry for someone like me,
In a cDorner booth pretendin' to read on a FrAiday night,
I used to say, It jEust ain't right,
EHow could anybody ever have any fun,
WithDout somebody, without someone,
It never dF#mawned on me, the possibDility,
That it's nAot a bad thing
AThose naggin' thoughts Asusabout you,
HAow I left without you tonight,
You know, they're few and far beDtween,
The wAaiter's name is AsusJoey, he told Ame,
And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any rDing,
An' that's Anot a bad thing,
And Ethere is a tug on the edge of my heart,
It's Dyou again sayin ,Don't you start lettin' Ago of me,
But I ain't lEistenin,
For oEnce in my life, I'll feel what I feel,
DLet it be, let it be real, let it fF#mlow through me,
An' wDash me clean, that's not a bad tEhing,
(lead chords -  E-  D-  E- D)
AAs I'm drivin' home, I'm tAsushinkin, the wAorst might be over,
Or maybe I'm a little bit nDaive,
But the strAeet lights seem bAsusrighter,
As I wAalk to my front door,
      (no chord)                   D
And I'm all alone when I turn the key,
An' that's nAot a bad thing,
I uEsed to feel sorry for someone like me,
In a cDorner booth pretendin' to read on a FrAiday night,
I used to say, It jEust ain't right,
EHow could anybody ever have any fun,
WithDout somebody, without someone,
It never dF#mawned on me, the possibDility,
That it's nAot a bad thin

Intro - D - A

Asus

= x02230

A Asus

I'm sittin' in this cafe,

A D

People talkin' so loud I can't hear myself think,

That's not a bad thing,

A Asus

The coffee keeps on coming,

The waiter who keeps smilin' as,

I'm ridin' on a river of caffeine,

D A

An' that's not a bad thing,

I used to feel sorry for someone like me,

D A

In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night,

I used to say, It just ain't right,

How could anybody ever have any fun,

Without somebody, without someone,

F#m D

It never dawned on me, the possibility,

That it's not a bad thing

A Asus

Those naggin' thoughts about you,

How I left without you tonight,

You know, they're few and far between,

A Asus A

The waiter's name is Joey, he told me,

And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring,

An' that's not a bad thing,

And there is a tug on the edge of my heart,

D A

It's you again sayin ,Don't you start lettin' go of me,

But I ain't listenin,

For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel,

D F#m

Let it be, let it be real, let it flow through me,

D E

An' wash me clean, that's not a bad thing,

E D E D

(lead chords - - - - )

A Asus A

As I'm drivin' home, I'm thinkin, the worst might be over,

Or maybe I'm a little bit naive,

A Asus

But the street lights seem brighter,

As I walk to my front door,

(no chord) D

And I'm all alone when I turn the key,

An' that's not a bad thing,

I used to feel sorry for someone like me,

D A

In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night,

I used to say, It just ain't right,

How could anybody ever have any fun,

Without somebody, without someone,

F#m D

It never dawned on me, the possibility,

That it's not a bad thin
