F
You never finish your glass
        C                     G  Am
Take a little sip and you're bored
Dm
Down in the apartment below
              C           F
Wouldn't even open your door
        C          F
You said, "It's a bad time for a good time, baby
       G   Am
A bad time" (Mmm)
Dm
Too many times I've asked myself
C            F
"What did I come here for?"

And every time is probably gonna be a bad time
  C                           G
Sorry, but it's not like the last time
                Dm                          C
Where you were calling me and hoping for a good time
C

Everything's so clear to me now, wish I coulda seen it before
You were sittin' comfortable and I was busy kissin' your floor

                   F     G
It's a really bad time (Hey, hey, mmm)
