Bad Timing - Blue Rodeo

>From the CD: Five Days in July

Words and Music by Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor

Key: [a]

Intro

 [d] [d]

Verse 1

Hey its me, what a big surprise,

Calling you up from a restaurant round the bend

Just got in from way up north

Aching and tired now, and I could use a friend

  [bm] [d] [d]

Might be a fool to think that you do wanna see me again

Verse 2

I know its been a while since I talked to you

Nothing wrong, it's just nothing ever goes as planned

Many times I thought I'd call

Didn't have your number in my hand

I know its true, you'd never do the same thing to me

Chorus

 [d]

I never meant to make you cry

 And though I know I shouldn't call

 It just reminds us of the cost

[d]

Oh, of everything we've lost

 Bad timing that's all.

 And maybe soon there'll come a day

 When no more tears will fall

 We each forgive a little bit,

[d]

Then we both look back on it

 As just bad timing that's all.

(Instrumental verse)

Verse 3

Used to have so many plans

Something always seemed to turn out wrong.

Never could catch up to you

Many on and doing all you've done

I don't know why, the harder I try, the harder it comes

(chorus)

(Outro: same as intro)
