[Intro]
(All the do-you-wrong playboys)
(Only-in-it-for-the-chase boys)
G   Em   G   Em

[Verse 2]
Em                     G
Had the narrow and the straight
                        Em
Had the weekend down in Panama City
                      G
Had the one that got away
                        Em
The stood me up after I got
 all pretty
The one that burned me like
    C
a cigarette
                         D
Had a one-night one that I regret

[Pre-Chorus]
     Am             G
That come-to-Jesus, I've
 had plenty
    C
But hindsight's twenty-twenty

[Chorus]
C                 G
Thank God for the bad love
                B
Slow-song kinda sad love
    Em
The weepin'-like-a-willow,
  D                    C
 makeup-on-your-pillowcase
                         G
And the wantin'-what-you-had love
                    B
Never-gonna-get-him-back love
    Em                    D
The put-it-back-together, swearin'
              C
it'll never break
C
'Cause it got me to the good love
               Am
The want-it-so-bad love,
                    G   Em
bad love, bad love

[Verse 2]
Em                G
Had a few I never could tie down
                          Em
And the one that tied the knot
 right after me
                            G
Lookin' back from where I'm at
right now
                        Em
I can see that's how it had to be

[Pre-Chorus]
       Am
'Cause livin' this life that
 we're makin'
    G
Was worth all the bullshit and waitin'
       C
Got me sayin'

[Chorus]
C                 G
Thank God for the bad love
                B
Slow-song kinda sad love
    Em
The weepin'-like-a-willow,
  D                    C
 makeup-on-your-pillowcase
                         G
And the wantin'-what-you-had love
                    B
Never-gonna-get-him-back love
    Em                    D
The put-it-back-together, swearin'
              C
 it'll never break
C
'Cause it got me to the good love
               Am
The want-it-so-bad love,
 bad love, bad love
