I Can Do Bad All By Myself

[Intro]
G#m C# E B *F# x2

[Verse 1]
G#m                C#          
Somebody told me once that 
        E                 B   
pain is a game we all gotta 
F#
play.
G#m                   C#      
 Then why Am I in overtime 
          E                B 
and sudden death every other 
 F#
day.
G#m                     C#  
  I know that for the good 
                   E       
of life there's a price we 
         B   F#
all gotta pay
        G#m                   
But I'll pay till I'm poor and 
   C#                      E  
I still don't know what it is 
                 B    F#
to have a good day, yeah

C#m                           
 Since everybody knows what 
  G#m
it is that I need to do.
             C#           
Well Do me a favor, let me 
 A#               D#
worry bout me and you worry bout you.

[Chorus]
       G#m             C#
I don't need no one to put me 
down,
             E                
I'm on the ground, can't get no
  B     F#
lower.
           G#m             C# 
And I don't need no one to hang
                     E        
around and make me frown just 
                B     F#
makes me look older.
           G#m            
And I don't need no one to 
 C#                       
black my eye and tell me 
E
lies
                 B    F#   
Don't wanna cry over nobody 
G#m
else
C#       E            B     F#
No no no no I can Do bad all by
  G#m
myself

[Verse 2]
                 C#       
Somebody told me once that 
                  E       
running from the rain don't
          B     F#
make no sense.
        G#m                  
I had my own dark cloud for a 
 C#                       E  
while now, it goes where ever 
      B      F#
I'm going, yeah
G#m                        C#
 They're telling me the 
                  E
grass just might be greener on the other side.
B               F#           
 But I don't wanna take a 
G#m                  C#      
chance on dirt when I got 
        E                   
grass even though the grass 
B    F#
has died.

C#m                           
 Since everybody knows what 
  G#m
it is that I need to do.
             C#           
Well Do me a favor, let me 
 A#               D#

             E                
I'm on the ground, can't get no
  B     F#
lower.
           G#m             C# 
And I don't need no one to hang
                     E        
around and make me frown just 
                B     F#
makes me look older.
           G#m            
And I don't need no one to 
 C#                       
black my eye and tell me 
E

                 B    F#   
Don't wanna cry over nobody 
G#m
else
C#       E            B     F#
No no no no I can Do bad all by
  G#m
myself

[Bridge]
      C#m                E  
Don't waste time feeling bad 
      F#
for me
G#m        C#m            
 I didn't ask you for 
    E     F#
your sympathy
G#m       C#m              E  
No I know God is watching over 
    F#
me
C#                          
  So I guess this is where 
       D#sus  D#
I'm supposed to be Ohh yes
