• Song:

    Bad Taste In My Mouth

  • Artist:

    The Kooks

Hi guys, I couldn't find a version of this song which included the Bridge part, which is 
favorite in this song, so I decided to transcribe it myself.

Pretty simple song, the Kooks plays it in G-major. I've included the intro roughly, you 
ALWAYS listen for the rythm of the guitar and try to find your own way of playing it.

Enjoy, Callon

[Verse]
G
The night's just getting longer
Am             G
Oh, am I still lonely?
G
And the days are getting slower
Am                                 G
Is this for some reason? I'm still lonely


[Chorus]
D              C                G
Now that I've got everything I wanted
Em       C
Still a bad taste in my mouth
Am                             G
Now I found all things that I wanted
D        C               G
Still a bad taste in my mouth


[Verse]
G
See I sent away my baby
Am                              G
I sent her packing on down the chain
G
So now she ain't my baby
Am                                  G
Yeah, but I still love her all the same


[Chorus]
D              C                G
Now that I've got everything I wanted
Em       C
Still a bad taste in my mouth
Am                             G
Now I found all things that I wanted
D        C               G
Still a bad taste in my mouth


[Bridge]
Am          Em            G        D
So take me down there in time and feed me liquor
Am       Em        D
I don't want pain tonight
            C
Where do I run to?
           Em      G             C
Where do I run to now that I've lost you?

[Chorus]
D              C                G
Now that I've got everything I wanted
Em       C
Still a bad taste in my mouth
Am                             G
Now I found all things that I wanted
D        C               G
Still a bad taste in my mouth
D        C               G
Still a bad taste in my mouth
D        C               G
Still a bad taste in my mouth
