It was a half past nothing on a nowhere night I had no one to love, I had no one to fight G F Am So I took a walk down Bad News Avenue
I had a heart full of blood and a head full of booze I had nothing to gain, I had nothing to lose So I stepped inside a tavern and began to play
E Bad news, bad news Am I'm talking to you G I don't know your name C/G E7 But I would love to
Am Next thing I hear "knock knock" G Who that there at my door? F I hear "knock knock" E I think she's back for more
Well, I woke up in the morning with a bad old head I had poison in my pocket and a body in my bed If you can get it with small change it might as well be free
Well the sun came up and the ship went down I went looking through the gutter for the lost and found And that's when I saw you smiling back at me
Bad news, bad news I'm talking to you I don't know your name But I would love to
Next thing I hear "knock knock" Who that there at my door? I hear "knock knock" I think she's back for more, say it again I hear "knock knock" Who that there at my door? I hear "knock knock" I think she's back for more
