Where did all the bad girls go?

                  G                      D
There's gotta be another couple out there

          A                          Bm                 G
Sugar's alright, but a little bit of spice would be nice
[Verse 2]
                  D            Bm
Where did all the wild ones go?

                  G             D
Kind that like to steal the show

                       A                     Bm           G
Make you feel like the first in line but the last to know
[Refrain]
D                   A
I ain't looking for just my type

Bm                     G              D
I need someone that'll knock me out tonight
[Interlude] A Bm G D Bm G [Verse 3]
                  D                 Bm
Where did all the lovesick cowgirls go?

  G                 D
Nobody seems to know

                  A                       Bm    G
Probably hanging around some dude's first rodeo
[Verse 4]
               D            Bm
What about the long-leg kind

               G               D
Thinking 'bout crossing that line

              A                  Bm          G  D
Never been my style, but lately, I don't mind
[Refrain]
               A
I don't need a ride-or-die

Bm              G
I just need somebody that'll hang on tight
[Bridge]
A                  Bm               G
 Where did all the bad girls end up?

              D               A
Maybe they're finally getting fed up

                  Bm                  G
Tired of running around with good ol' boys like us
[Interlude] G D Bm G D Bm G [Verse 5]
                  D
Where did all the heartbreakers hide out?

Bm                 G                       D
Probably somewhere shooting love lights out

                 A                        Bm          G
Living life like most folks wouldn't dare dream about
[Verse 6]
                  D             Bm
Where did all the good ones go?

                  G               D
I guess I shoulda held on tighter

             A                      Bm                G
How was I to know there'd never be another one like her?
