The other day -The other day-

I met a bear -I met a bear-
            G7
A great big bear -A great big bear-
          C
A way out there -A way out there-
                      F
The other day I met a bear
            G7             C
A great big bear a way out there


         C
And so I ran -And so I ran-

Away from there -Away from there-
            G7
But right behind -But right behind-
            C
Me was that bear -Me was that bear-
                       F
And so I ran away from there
            G7               C
But right behind me was that bear


         C
Ahead of me -Ahead of me-

There was a tree -There was a tree-
            G7
A great big tree -A great big tree-
          C
Oh, glory be -Oh, glory be-
                        F
Ahead of me there was a tree
            G7              C
A great big tree, oh, glory be


            C
The nearest branch -The nearest branch-

Was ten feet up -Was ten feet up-
            G7
I’d have to jump -I’d have to jump-
             C
And trust my luck -And trust my luck-
                                F
The nearest branch was ten feet up
            G7                C
I’d have to jump and trust my luck


         C
And so I jumped -And so I jumped-

Into the air -Into the air-
                  G7
But I missed that branch -But I missed that branch-
         C
A way up there -A way up there-
                         F
And so I jumped into the air
                  G7              C
But I missed that branch a way up there


              C
Now don’t you fret -Now don’t you fret-

Now don’t you frown -Now don’t you frown-
                     G7
‘Cause I caught that branch -‘Cause I caught that branch-
                C
On the way back down -On the way back down-
                                  F
Now don’t you fret, now don’t you frown
                     G7                     C
‘Cause I caught that branch on the way back down


            C
This is the end -This is the end-

There ain’t no more -There ain’t no more-
         G7
Unless I meet -Unless I meet-
               C
That bear once more -That bear once more-
                                F
This is the end, there ain’t no more
         G7                  C
Unless I meet that bear once more

okay, so you made the title wrong (It’s just called “Good Girls”) And you’ve put it on the wrong album. It’s on the album that hasn’t been released yet. 🙂

-4 makes even easier chords and they sound really good aswell!

yourawizardcalum

It’s actually “She’s really into all that self improvement,” not employment 🙂

ChocolateMilkParty

all the lyrics are wrong and it bothers me lolol

breannecurrie

they put the chords on way before they even announced the album (way before the SLSP EP too) and then they called the name Good Girls Are Bad Girls.

Babsie

For the last Twoish years it’s been called the full name and these chords are for the original live version not the new studio version

hankatnic

+3 makes easier chords

I’m a little too mad because he or she put the wrong album and title… 🙁

olives

Hi! The song title is actually “Good Girls” and it is on the album “5 Seconds of Summer”. There are also some lyric issues Just thought I should let you know!

5SOSTrash

The title and album are both correct. The song was written in 2012 and the full title was “Good Girls Are Bad Girls” and it was put on their Somewhere New EP before self-titled was even announced. The bad things are, the lyrics are incorrect and the chords are for the updated live version, not the original. 🙂
