Suzanne Vega – Bad Wisdom (Guitar Intro Tab)

  E          G              A          E
Mother the doctor knows something is wrong

          G          A         E
Cause my body has strange information

       E          G              A         E
He's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a child

         G           A               E
But he doesn't dare ask the right question

   E         G             A          E
Mother my friends are no longer my friends

          G              A             E
And the games we once played have no meaning

            E          G            A            E
I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why

            G         A           E
So they've left me to my own daydreaming

       G       A
What price to pay

     E
For bad wisdom

      G        A
What price to pay

     E
For bad wisdom

      G     
Too young to know

      A
Too much, too soon

      E
Bad wisdom,

      E
Bad wisdom.

  E             G            A           E
Mother you've taught me the laws are so fine-

        G           A         E
If I'm good that I will be protected,

       E                  G               A          E
I've fallen through the crack and there's no getting back

           G           A            E
And I'll never trust whoever gets elected

  E          G              A         E
Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold

         G         A         E
And it wasn't what I was expecting

 E           G             A            E
Once I did think that I'd find comfort there

      G                  A            E
And instead you've gone hard and suspecting

       G       A
What price to pay

     E
For bad wisdom

      G        A
What price to pay

     E
For bad wisdom

      G     
Too young to know

      A
Too much, too soon

      E
Bad wisdom,

      E
Bad wisdom.

  E         G          A           E
Mother I'm cut at the root like a weed

  E           D          A              A
Cause there's no one to hear my small story

  E           G         A            E
Just like a woman who walks in the street,

        D
I will pay for my life with my body

       G       A
What price to pay

     E
For bad wisdom

      G        A
What price to pay

     E
For bad wisdom

      G     
Too young to know

      A
Too much too soon

      E
Bad wisdom,

      E
Bad wisdom
