Gettin Good At Bein Bad Chords & Lyrics - Jeff Daniels

[C]I started out young, smo[D]king cigarettes
I was the Ma[F]rlboro Man, ‘cause he was a[C]s good as it gets,
He died of cancer with a lo[D]t of regrets but I kept right on[F] smoking ‘cause I [C]didn’t.
[C]Alcoholically speaking, I had [D]nothing to fear, until one [F]hot summer’s day I had an i[C]ce cold beer.
Then I ha[D]d me another, got a [F]third right here—next thing I know there’s[C] a drunk in my mirror.
[C]Gettin’ good at[D] bein’ ba[F]d, had me some trouble with t[C]he trouble I’ve had.
Get s[D]o happy then I get so s[F]ad, gettin’[G7] good at bein[C]’ bad.
Next [C]I had me a puff of that mar[D]ijuana, can’t sa[F]y no when you know you[C] wanna
Turned my mind into [D]mush like I was sit[F]tin’ in a sauna, contemplating the meaning o[C]f Madonna
[C]Next a friend of mine slipped me some [D]LSD, "Here, swallow[F] this, you won’t believe wh[C]at you see.”
Twenty minutes later I thought [D]I was a tree and all of my le[F]aves were laughing a[C]t me.
[C]Gettin’ good a[D]t bein’ ba[F]d, had me some trouble with th[C]e trouble I’ve had.
Ge[C]t so happy then I get so [D]sad, gettin’[F] good at[G7] bein?[C] ?? bad.
[F]And those of you out there, [Dm]cleaner than a whistle, str[C]aighter than an incoming nuclear missile
[F]You don’t imbibe, wo[Dm]n’t partake, and think those who do make a[C] big mistake.
[F]You’re high and mighty[Dm] , holier than thou, you’re lookin’ dow[C]n your nose at what I’m talking about.
[F]Go ahead, roll your eyes, [Dm]refuse to listen, but be[G7]tween you and me you don’t know what you??[C] ?re missing
[C]Well, the older I get the more [D]pain I have to kill, so I went to my [F]doctor, he prescribed me some [C]
pills.
"Tak[D]e 22 tablets 12 times a day” – now p[F]harmaceutically-speaking, I’[C]m doing A-OK.
My TV told me that if I [D]took Cialis, I could [F]turn my bedroom into a s[C]exual palace
[C]Sure, enough, like wild horses you couldn’[D]t corral us, I was the[F] Marquis de Sade and
She was D[C]ebbie doing Dallas.

[C]Gettin’ good a[D]t bein’ b[F]ad, had me some trouble with th[C]e trouble I’ve had.
Get so happy then I [D]get so sad, gettin??[F] ? good a[G7]t bein?[C] ?? bad.
[C]Just this morning, got me a [D]serious jones, made me q[F]uiver all over till it rattled my[C] bones.
Just when I [D]thought I was out of l[F]uck, I looked up and seen me a St[C]arbucks.

(Don’t think they ain’t lacing that shit with something.)
[C]Gettin’ good at[D] bein’ bad, had me som[F]e trouble with [C]the trouble I’ve had.
Get so happy then I [D]get so sad, gettin??[F] ? good a[G7]t bein[C]’ bad.
