Burton Cummings - Bad News

      [Intro]
A Amaj7 D Asus4/D x4

[Verse 1]
A                   Amaj7             E     Emaj7
They've been sayin' our love's losin' ground
D              E                   A       Amaj7 D Asus4/D
Why can't they just mind their own business
A              Amaj7               E    Emaj7
I been hearin' so much talk goin' 'round
D             E                A
It just might be my time to be leavin'

[Chorus]
                    D     A  Bm
Why can't they just leave us be
  D             A     E    F#m
I know that you still love me
                   D
'Cause if you been doin' me bad
    E                   A
You sure been hidin' it good
                D    A Bm
And if you must slip around
                  A  E    F#m
Keep keepin' your profile down
              D           E                A
And lie to me baby 'cause I can't take bad news

[Instrumental]
A Amaj7 D Asus4/D x4

[Verse 2]
A         Amaj7               E      Emaj7
If it's a secret, I'll try to keep it
D             E                       A   Amaj7 D Asus4/D
Gonna let the truth lie just where it will
A             Amaj7           E    Emaj7
And if it's a lie I'll understand it
D                 E              A
But it just might be I've had my fill

[Chorus]
                    D     A  Bm
Why can't they just leave us be
  D             A     E    F#m
I know that you still love me
                   D
'Cause if you been doin' me bad
    E                   A
You sure been hidin' it good
                D    A Bm
And if you must slip around
                  A  E    F#m
Keep keepin' your profile down
              D           E                A
And lie to me baby 'cause I can't take bad news
