There are worse things I could do    (video)    (midi)

 

    D - D7

 

                       G                           Em   - Am

    There are worse things I could do,

                                      F#m  - B7

    than go with a boy or two.

                                               Em                   A7

    Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy,

                     D            Bm                      E

     and no good, I suppose it could be true,

                           A                              D

    but there are worse things I could do.

 

                D7                   Em   - G - C

1. I could flirt with all the guys,

                                              F#m   - B7

    smile at them and bat my eyes.

                                                   Em

    press against them when we dance,

                         A                            D

    make them think they stand a chance,

               Bm                     E      - A                                      D

    then refuse to see it through,       that's a thing I'd never do.

 

                Dm           - Gm                  - C

    I could stay home        every night,

                             F                - Bb

    wait around for Mr. Right,

                                            Gm                                  A

    take cold showers every day, and throw my life away,

                                                    D   - D7

    on a dream that won't come true.

 

                D7                        Em   - G - C

2. I could hurt someone like me,

                           F#m          - B7

    out of spite or jealousy.

                                         E

    I don’t steal and I don't lie,

                   C#m              F#m

    but I can feel and I can cry.

                   B7         Em               - G - C

    a fact I'll bet you never knew.

                                   F#m   - D7

    but to cry in front of you,

      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G     - C - Cm - G

    that's the worst thing I could do.
