It seems like their using a slide, so I tried to tab it out so that it's
possible to play with a slide on your pinky, without detuning the guitar


INTRO(palm muted except on the last two notes) Repeat four times

I can't seem to find my way...                   (this is done with the slide)

Repeat four times, play Fig.2, and do the same thing for the next verse.
Then it plays the intro again.

Late at night...          (play as power chord if you want it to sound fuller)

Alley way,...                    (the bassline repeats, and this is the slide)

      A-----------------------------------------------------------------------
      E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Intro plays again under "I'll get you"

I was born inside a cage...(I've got the bass and guitar tabbed together, and 
                            you have to take off the slide for this part.)

      A--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0-----2--4-----4--0--------4-----2--0---0-
      E-----------------------------4-----------------4-3-2------------4---

Then it goes back to the Intro, and the rest of the song follows the same
patterns.


I'm So Bad

Can't seem to find my way
Someone tell me what to say
Where am I going
Where did I come from
I don't know, I don't know

Almost got to paradise
But the smoke always gets
in my eyes
Everything I do is wrong
I'm so bad . . . so bad

Late at night, they're asleep
I'm awake, get the urge
Hit the street, jump a curb
Alleyway, dark and wet
Set the trap, I forget
Who I am. But I know
I'll get you . . I'm so bad

I was born inside a cage
Never knew anything but rage
Although I tried so hard to adjust
Love is something I don't understand
Take what I need and I get what I can
OH . . . I'm so bad

I wake up in the morning so tired
Dreamt that I was walking through fire
The fire didn't hurt me though
We're old friends

Can't seem to find my way
Someone tell me what to say
Everything I do is wrong

Pass the time, lie in bed
Hotel room, T.V. set
Got to move, might be dead
Catch a ride, I'm awake
Join a crowd, hidden blade
Buy a drink, you better pray
I don't get you
I'm so bad . . . so bad
