[Chorus]
'Cause, baby,
now we got bad blood
You know it used
to be mad love
So take a look
 what you've done
'Cause, baby, now
 we got bad blood, hey
Now we got problems
And I don't think
we can solve them
You made a really
deep cut
And, baby, now we
got bad blood, hey

So don't think it's
in the past
D
These kinda wounds,

All these things
      Em
will catch up to you
    C        G
And time can heal,
