Was it something I did in another life?

   C       G        C       G         D
I try and try, but nothing comes out right,

    Em    D   G      C         D     G
for me...bad karma! killing me by degrees.
[Verse]
G          C    G            C      G
I took a wrong turn on the astral plane,

G      C        G          C       G         D
now I keep on thinking my luck is going to change,

     Em    D   G           C      D       G
someday...bad karma! It's uphill all the way.
[Bridge]
        C         G   D            G
I cant run, cant hide, can't get away.

C              Em            D
It must be my destiny - the same thing happens everyday.

 D   C                     D      G      C         D      G
Bad karma! coming after me...bad karma! killing me by degrees.

G         C       G              C        G       D
ought to hang my picture in the all-time loser's hall

    Em    D   G            C         D      G
of fame. Bad karma! its a low-down, dirty shame, oh yeah.
