This is the chord progression of Bad by James Bay on Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
E9 G#m
I know it hurts that we don’t touch anymore
E9 G#m
It’s even worse ’cause we built this from the floor
E9 G#m
It’s just as hard for me to know I might see you ’round
E9 G#m
Just as hard for me to worry ’bout reachin’ out
[Pre-Chorus]
A7 C#m F#m7 C#m
The more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
A7 C#m F#m7 B
Yeah, the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
[Chorus]
E9 E9/D# C#m B
I want you bad, but it’s done
A7 C#m F#m7 B
I’m bleeding out, ’cause we can’t go on
E9 E9/D# C#m B
I want you bad, ’til I shake
A7 C#m F#m7 B E9
I want what we’ve had, but what’s broken don’t unbreak
[Verse 2]
E9 G#m
Soon as I’m ready to get over you, you call me up
E9 G#m
Then I crumble when you say you’re getting over us
[Pre-Chorus]
A7 C#m F#m7 C#m
But the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
A7 C#m F#m7 B
Yeah, the more that I’m without you, the less I know if I was right
[Chorus]
E9 E9/D# C#m B
I want you bad, but it’s done
A7 C#m F#m7 B
I’m bleeding out, ’cause we can’t go on
E9 E9/D# C#m B
I want you bad, ’til I shake
A7 C#m F#m7 B
I want what we’ve had, but what’s broken don’t unbreak
[Bridge]
E E/D# C#m E/D# E F#m7 E9
And I won’t tell you what I want to
Bsus B
What I want to
E E/D# C#m E/D# E F#m7 E9
I’m falling through, I can’t hide it
Bsus B
But I learn to
[Chorus]
E9 E9/D# C#m B
‘Cause I want you bad, but it’s done
A7 C#m F#m7 B
I’m bleeding out, ’cause we can’t go on
E9 E9/D# C#m B
I want you bad, ’til I shake
A7 C#m F#m7 B E9
I want what we’ve had, but what’s broken don’t unbreak
[Outro]
E9 E9/D# C#m B
I want you bad, but it’s done
A7 C#m F#m7 B
I want you bad, but we can’t go on
