[Intro]
G# C Fm G#7 C# G#/C A#m7 G# C#
[Verse 1]
G# C
"She's a little rebel," that's what they say
Fm G#7
I've been chasing trouble since back in the day
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
I don't wanna grow up, I'm just not built that way
G# C7
Daddy wishes I was the girl next door
Fm G#7
Mama tells me I should smile some more
[Chorus]
C#
Baby, I've been bad
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
But God knows I've tried to be good
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
God knows I've tried (ooh)
[Verse 2]
G# C7
To the lovers and friends that I've gone and left behind
Fm G#7
I might've run away, but, see, I ain't driving blind
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
I made it to the circus, but I still walk the line
G# C7
So go on, judge me by my cover
Fm G#7
I know I'll never write another
[Chorus]
C#
Baby, I've been bad
C# G#/C A#m G#
But God knows I've tried to be good
C# G#/C A#m G#
God knows I've tried
[Bridge]
A#m
I've been smokin', drinkin', lyin', cheatin'
Cm A#m
I've overpromised, but under-achievin'
Fm
I usually ain't afraid of nothin'
G#
But saying this out loud terrifies me
A#m
I've been breakin' hearts, stealin' cars
Cm
Takin' shit to walk on Mars
A#m
To never say sorry, don't mean I'm not sorry
D#
Baby, I'm sorry, oh baby, I'm sorry
G# C7
I'm sorry for the pain I've caused
Fm G#
For all the moments I've gone and lost
C# G#/C A#m G#
Don't you know I've tried to be good
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G# C
"She's a little rebel," that's what they say
Fm G#7
Yeah, I'll be chasing trouble for the rest of my days
C# G# A#m7 G#
No, I'm never growing up no matter what they say
G# C
So let me speak some truth to you
Fm G#7
I'll do it all again times two, yeah
[Chorus]
N.C. C#
Baby, I'm bad
C# G#/D# A#m G#
But God knows I've tried to be good, yeah, ooh

God knows I've tried, and I've tried and tried
C# G#/D# A#m7 G#
God knows I've tried
