[Intro]
D G D G D G D G
[Verse]
D G D G
From the Peninsula, we stare across the bay
D G D G
From the Peninsula, we talk of yesterday
Em A Em A
Of the parties that are over and who the midnight boys took home
F#m Bm G A A7 A A7
And now I sit and watch street walkers standing next to a pay phone
[Verse]
D G D G
Out for a moonlight swim, she glides across the bay
D G D G
We took a motorcar, we said we'd meet you half way
Em A Em A
And we waited for an hour and they searched the whoel next day
F#m Bm G A A7 A A7
They never found no body, some parties just end up that way
[Chorus]
D C Em
When you go out with a bad boy
G A
You do things you thought you shouldn't do
D C Em
When you go out with a bad girl
G A A7
You do things you thought you wouldn't do
A A7
You thought you couldn't do
[Verse]
D G D G
Like a Cristal Ship, the poets words will stay
D G D G
And like a teenage nymph, he gave to much away
Em A Em A
They use to find him in the morning, his head held in his hand
F#m Bm
And he'd be crying about Lolita
G A A7 A A7
He said no one's ever gonna understand,
[Verse]
D G D G
He'd talk of Indians, he said they never lose their way
D G D G
But with us white men, the magic can't go away
Em A Em A
Some say the opium drove him crazy, some say Beaujolais drove him insane
F#m Bm
But there's an Indian girl called Lolita
G A A7 A A7
Dancing down in Mexico in steaming rain
[Chorus]
D C Em
When you go out with a bad boy
G A
You do things you thought you shouldn't do
D C Em
When you go out with a bad girl
G A A7
You do things you thought you wouldn't do
A A7
You thought you couldn't do
[Interlude]
F G D F G D F G D F G D
[Verse]
D G D G
There's no a word of true, in anything I say
D G D G
And I can't tell a lie, I was brought up that way
Em A Em A
You see, these stories have no meaning except for what you can see
F#m Bm
Of Party Girls and Broken Poets
G A A7 A A7
They're not too different from you and me
[Chorus]
D C Em
When you go out with a bad boy
G A
You do things you thought you shouldn't do
D C Em
When you go out with a bad girl
G A A7
You do things you thought you wouldn't do
A A7
You thought you couldn't do
[Outro]
A A7
You thought you couldn't do
A A7
You thought you couldn't do
D C Em G A
When you go out with a bad boy
D C Em G A
When you go out with a bad girl
D C Em G A
When you go out with a bad boy
D C Em G A
When you go out with a bad girl
