Written by: Danny Elfman Tabbed by: boingo692x@mail.telis.org It seems like their using a slide, so I tried to tab it out so that it's possible to play with a slide on your pinky, without detuning the guitar INTRO(palm muted except on the last two notes) Repeat four times e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------------| Fig.1 G-------------------------------7-----------------------------7----7\---| D--------------------------7----7-----------------------------7----7\---| A-----------3---------5--------------------3--------3----5----5----5\---| E---4---4--------4--------------------4---------4-----------------------| e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------------| Fig.2 G-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------2----------------------------2----------------------------------| A---4-------4---0----------------4-------4---0-------0------------------| E-------------------4---3---2--------------------4----------------------| I can't seem to find my way...

I'm So Bad Can't seem to find my way Someone tell me what to say Where am I going Where did I come from I don't know, I don't know Almost got to paradise But the smoke always gets in my eyes Everything I do is wrong I'm so bad . . . so bad Late at night, they're asleep I'm awake, get the urge Hit the street, jump a curb Alleyway, dark and wet Set the trap, I forget Who I am. But I know I'll get you . . I'm so bad I was born inside a cage Never knew anything but rage Although I tried so hard to adjust Love is something I don't understand Take what I need and I get what I can OH . . . I'm so bad I wake up in the morning so tired Dreamt that I was walking through fire The fire didn't hurt me though We're old friends Can't seem to find my way Someone tell me what to say Everything I do is wrong Pass the time, lie in bed Hotel room, T.V. set Got to move, might be dead Catch a ride, I'm awake Join a crowd, hidden blade Buy a drink, you better pray I don't get you I'm so bad . . . so bad www.TAB6.com
