Gm
[Verse]
GmWhite shirt now red, my bloody nose
GmSleeping, you're on your tippy toes
CmCreeping around like no one knows
D7Think you're so criminal
GmBruises, on both my knees for you
GmDon't say thank you or please
I Cmdo what I want when I'm wanting to
D7My soul? So cynical
[Chorus]
So you're a Gmtough guy, like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy, chest always so puffed guy
I'm that Cmbad type, make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend D7mad tight, might seduce your dad type
I'm the Gmbad guy
[Post-Chorus]
GmBad decisions that we made
GmI'm the bad guy
D7Bad decisions that we made
[Chorus]
  EbI want your loving
Your lFove is revenge
You and me Dcould
write a bad roGmmance
  EbI want your loving
Your lFove is revenge
You and me Dcould

CmIf she reads all the lyrics
D7She'll pity the men I know
[Chorus]
So you're a Gmtough guy, like it really rough guy

[Verse]

White shirt now red, my bloody nose

Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes

Creeping around like no one knows

Think you're so criminal

Bruises, on both my knees for you

Don't say thank you or please

I do what I want when I'm wanting to

My soul? So cynical

[Chorus]

So you're a tough guy, like it really rough guy

Just can't get enough guy, chest always so puffed guy

I'm that bad type, make your mama sad type

Make your girlfriend mad tight, might seduce your dad type

I'm the bad guy

[Post-Chorus]

Bad decisions that we made
