Not A Bad Thing

	  		


Intro: G 


I'm sitting in this café 

People talking so loud 
                    C 
I can't hear myself think 
           G 
And that's not a bad thing 



The coffee keeps on coming 

The waiter keeps smiling 
                                  C 
As I'm riding on this river of caffeine 
           G 
And that's not a bad thing 


  D 
I used to feel sorry for someone like me 
     C 
In a corner booth pretending to read 
     G 
On a Friday night 
                  D                  G 
I used to say, it just ain't right 


D 
How could anybody ever have any fun 
    C 
Without somebody, without someone 
         Em                   C           C-G-G-C 
It never dawned on me, the possibility 
          G 
That it's not a bad thing 



All those thoughts of  

'How will I live without you' 
                                       C 
Tonight you know they're few and far between 


    G 
The waiter's name is Joey 

He told me and that's when I noticed 
                      C 
He ain't wearing any ring 
           G 
And that's not a bad thing 


D 
There's a tug on the edge of my heart 
     C 
It's you again saying, "Don't you start 
        G 
Letting go of me" 
            D           G 
But I'm not listening 


    D 
For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel 
C 
Let it be, let it be real 
       Em                  C               C-G-G-C 
Let it flow through me and wash me clean 
                    G      C 
Yeah, it's not a bad thing____ 
              G      C      C-G-G-C 
It's not a bad thing____ 


       G 
As I'm driving home I'm thinking 

The worst might be over 
                            C 
Or maybe I'm a little bit naïve 


        G 
But the streetlights seem brighter 

As I walk up to my front door 
        N.C.                  C 
I'm all alone when I turn the key 
N.C.     G 
And it's not a bad thing 

No, it's not a bad thing
