C Bm Em D x2
[Verse 1]
C
And I was surprised in a Cleveland car park
Bm
In the corner, my new Texas sweetheart
Em
The perfect setting for an awkward first kiss
D
You were smiling, so my lips met your teeth
C
You pushed me back into my bed with your eyes
Bm
You shift your hips to help your underpants pass your thighs
Em
I couldn't see you through the dark, but I could hear your voice
D
Whisper, "never let the distance catch us"
C
You told me that you've known a lot of assholes
Bm
Hey, I'm an asshole but I'd never treat you wrong
Em
No more flying, no more whiskey or cocaine
D
I can change if you promise to love me
[Chorus]
G
I'd rather die on the plane flight home
C G C
Than disappoint you in the years to come
Em G
Let me crash into the ocean
Em G C
Let the water fill my lungs
G
I'd rather die on the plane flight home
C G C
Than disappoint you in the years to come
Em G
Let me crash into the ocean
Em G C
Let the water fill my lungs
C Bm Em D x2
[Verse 2]
C
Everything changed when that boy got hit
Bm
He fell and bashed his brains on the concrete
Em
And I was thinking, "what the fuck's so wrong with me
D
That'd make you sit by his bed for four long days"
C
And, oh, I know you said you were just friends
Bm
But I guess I'm not as stupid as you think
Em
I've been waiting for a late night accident
D
Burning holes in my ceiling from my bed
C
Tell me - do you have a thing for the bad kid?
Bm
I heard he's packing heat, and sells prescription meds
Em
I would've killed that motherfucker with my bare hands
D
But I changed for you, 'cause you promised
[Chrous]
G
I'd rather die on the plane flight home
C G C
Than disappoint you in the years to come
Em G
Let me crash into the ocean
Em G C
Let the water fill my lungs
G
I'd rather die on the plane flight home
C G C
Than disappoint you in the years to come
Em G
Let me crash into the ocean
Em G C
Let the water fill my lungs
Em C G X3
[Bridge]
Em G
If the bad boys are what you want
Em G
I can show you bad, I can show you bad
Em G
If the bad boys are what you want
G
I can show you bad, I can show you bad
Em C G
You want a boy that makes his mother cry
Em C G
You want a boy that drinks, so he can sleep at night
Em C G
And all his friends are at the needle's edge
Em C G
With seatbelt tourniquets in the passenger seat
Em C G
A boy addicted to another's sheets
Em C G
When every girl means no more than the last one did's end
Em C G
Read the stories on my hands
Em C G
And my broken bones
Em C G
And the scars on my legs
[Outro]
Em C G
If the bad boys are what you want
Em C G
I can show you bad, I can show you bad
Em C G
If the bad boys are what you want
Em C
I can show you bad
Em C
I can show you bad
Em C G
I can show you bad
