More Bad Times

Performed by Ed's Redeeming Qualities with additional vocals by Callie
Thorne
Written by Dom Leone

*This song comes from the soundtrack of the movie "Ed's Next Move."(a
wonderful by the way)  The band, Ed's Redeeming Qualities(ERQ), now has
their own album out.  I've never seen or heard it so I don't know if there
is a version of this song on there.  Anyway, this is from the movie.  As
far as instrumentation goes,  I have figured the song out on guitar with
standard tuning.  In the song he plays, I think, a ukelale,.(is that
spelled right?)but this works for guitar.  The song starts with the
chorus.  The  e second and third verses erses are p w layed wIith the same
chords as the first.   s aas the first.

(no intro)

Chorus:

G                D        C          C
You twisted your ankle, I carried you

G           D           C          C
You got a divorce, so I married you

G              D           C         C
You fell off a cliff, so I buried you

G                      D            C              C
I wish there were more bad times to see you through


    G         C
You never got rabies

    D            G
You never gained weight

    G          C           D   D
You never came home with a scar

    G           C           D                G
You never drank posion, you watched what you ate

    G        C             D             D
You never so much as put a scratch on my car

(Chorus)

You never got measles, you never got gout
You never suggested charades
You never got dizzy, you never fell out
You never picked up any live handgrenades

Bridge:

G       C             G              D
So many things did go wrong, but the list is not

G           C
long enough-not enough

G             D         G
bad things to fill up a song

(Chorus)

You never lost contacts, you never leaked oil
You never fell to sticks and stones
You never drank cleanser, you never ate foil
You never chocked on an big chicken bones

(Chorus end with a slow G aAfter the final C
