Amazin Second Album? hawayyyy the Monkeys!! 

Chorus:

Em        Bm
  Do the bad thing
Am             G       F#  
  Take off your wedding ring
Em                Bm
 But it wont make it that much easier
Am                     G F# 
 It might make it worse


Verse1:         (rhythm |Dm 2 3 C| A 2 3 4|Dm 2 3 C|A 2 3 4|

Dm                                     
The night's like a whirlwind
C              A
Somebody's girlfriend is talking to me
Dm                       C                         A
But it's alright , she's saying that he's not that he's gonna slap me
                          A
Or try to attack me, he's not the jealous type

BRIDGE:  heavy downstrokes!

Dm                                                     Am
I've been before and all these capers makers to the floor
 Dm                                                     Am
Then to ignore, she's talking but I'm not entirely sure

Dm Am, Dm Am, Dm Am, F# G

CHORUS: (same progression Em, Bm, Am, G F# x2)

Do the bad thing
Take off your wedding ring
But it wont make it that much easier
It might make it worse

Verse2: 

Dm (strum once, then bass only!)
Somebody's partner is talking to me
But I don't that is what she isn't
She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants
And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response

Bridge: Dm Am

Like I don't mind
Be a big mistake for you to wait and help me waste your time
Really love it's fine
Said really love it's fine

Dm Am x 3 F# G

FINAL CHORUS: same chords as original chorus, Em. Bm, Am, G F#

And the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Oh but she carried on suggesting
I struggled to refuse
She said it's the red wine this time
But that is no excuse

Em
