Here are the chords to 'I Did Something Bad' by Taylor Swift! It's one of my favourites
from her new album 'reputation' and it has easy chords 
although the bridge is harder to play and sing because it is syncopated. 
But practice makes perfect! 
ALSO PLEASE READ: (*update*)
You can also play a Bm instead of a D in this song. This has been quite a divisive issue
for this tab as many people keep making corrections, changing the D to a Bm, but then other
people make corrections after that, changing the Bm back to a D. Personally, I think the Bm is
slightly more accurate (compared to original instrumental backing) but that the D sounds better
(so I left the D on the tab). They both work, okay? You can play whichever one you want.
It's really up to your personal taste. SO PLEASE, stop fighting over my tab with corrections!!!
Thank you, and have fun playing :) 
CAPO ON FRET 3
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
    Em
  I never trust a narcissist
                   G
  But they love me
       C
  So I play 'em like a violin
                     Am     D
  And I make it look oh-so-easy
             Em
  'Cause for every lie I tell them
                     G
  They tell me three
  C
  This is how the world works
             Am      D          C
  Now all he thinks about is me
[Pre-Chorus]
                                  Em
  I can feel the flames on my skin
              D               C
  Crimson red paint on my lips
                                             Am
  If a man talks s**t, then I owe him nothing
                          D                      Em
  I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming
[Chorus]
                            Em
  They say I did something baddd
                          G
  Then why's it feel so good?
                            C
  They say I did something baddd
                      Am      D
  But why's it feel so  good?
                   Em
  Most fun I ever haddd
                 G                               C
  And I'd do it over and over and over again if I  could
                 Am     D
  It just felt so  good,  good
[Instrumental]
 Em
  Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta
 G
  Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta
 C
  Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta
 Am       D
  ta-ta, (ta-ta, ta)
[Verse 2]
     Em
  I never trust a playboy
                  G
  But they love me
       C
  So I fly 'em all around the world
                   Am        D
  And I let them think they saved me
        Em
  They never see it comin'
                G
  What I do next
  C
  This is how the world works
                    Am        D       C
  You gotta leave before you get left
[Pre-Chorus]
                                  Em
  I can feel the flames on my skin
                         D                C
  He says, "Don't throw away a good thing"
                                                 Am
  But if he drops my name, then I owe him nothin'
                       D                            Em
  And if he spends my change, then he had it comin'
[Chorus]
                            Em
  They say I did something baddd
                          G
  Then why's it feel so good?
                            C
  They say I did something baddd
                      Am      D
  But why's it feel so  good?
                   Em
  Most fun I ever haddd
                 G                               C
  And I'd do it over and over and over again if I  could
                 Am     D
  It just felt so  good,  good

[Bridge]
Em                                               G        D
  They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one
C                                    Am
  They got their pitchforks and proof
                      D
  Their receipts and reasons
Em                                               G        D
  They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one
     C
  So light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up)
  Am                        D
  Light me up, go ahead and light me up (light me up)

  Light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up)
  Light me up (light me up), light me up
[Chorus]
                            Em

  Then why's it feel so good? (so good)
                            C

                 G                               C
  And I'd do it over and over and over again if I  could
                 Am       D
