The Bad List (ft. Z Berg) Tab par Ryan Ross

[Verse 1: Z Berg]
           E               A
If it were me, I'd write another song
G#m                  C#m
Something in a major key
F#                   A          E
You and I will always be "the dream"
E                            A
It was a scream when we were young and dumb
G#m             C#m
Acid on Topanga Beach
F#                     A         E
In my mind we'll always be that free
    Am                 E
But something changed along the way
Am                     B
Winter never turned to Spring



[Chorus: Z Berg & Ryan Ross]
E
It's Christmas Eve, you set the house on fire
A
It's snowing on palm trees
Am
The river has run dry
E
So let me set you free
A
Let me help you please
Am
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve


[Verse 2: Ryan Ross]
E                          A
All the lights are on, but no one's home
G#m                   C#m
Out cold on my frozen feet
F#                      A         E
With nothing lying underneath the tree
E                       A
The only soul I knew to telephone
G#m                        C#m
Knows I'm lying through my teeth
F#                      A                E
We were always thick as thieves, you and me
    Am                 E
But something changed along the way
Am                     B
Winter never turned to Spring



[Chorus: Z Berg & Ryan Ross]
E
It's Christmas Eve, you set the house on fire
A
It's snowing on palm trees
Am
If you stay, you're gonna die
E
So let me help you please
A
Let me help you leave
Am
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve

E

[Bridge: Z Berg & Ryan Ross]
A
But there's no bandage
B
There ain't no ballad
E
To fix the sadness
C#m
So happy Christmas
A
Back on the bad list
B
I don't want no gifts
E
Just a first kiss
C#m
For the new year
E
Just a first kiss
C#m
To face the new year

E C#m E C#m

[Outro: Z Berg & Ryan Ross]
E                        A
If it were me, I'd write another song
Am
Say goodbye
