Bathwater Tab

by No Doubt


I just found it on the bottom of the tab for this song, and thought it ought to be 
in the chords section so that more people would see it.)

The rhythms are quite simple if you listen to the 
song itself. Basically the one for the verse goes like this: 

Chord:         x     x     x  x  x   
Counting:      1     2     3  &  4 
                                    x x x x 
.. and the chorus is a straight out 1 2 3 4.

Verse 1: 
                
You and your museum of lovers 

                                       
The precious collection you've housed in your covers 

                                             
My simpleness threatened by my own admission 

                   
And the bags are much too heavy 

            
In my insecure condition 

                                           
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again 

Chorus 1: 
                                   
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater 

                       
Love to think that you couldn't love another 

                                      
I can't help it…you're my kind of man 

Filler: Em      Em       Am  Am  Am ---> x2 

Verse 2: <> 
Wanted and adored by attractive women 
Bountiful selection at your discretion 
I know I'm diving into my own destruction 
So why do we choose the boys that are naughty? 
I don't fit in so why do you want me? 
And I know I can't tame you…but I just keep trying 

Chorus 2: 

                              
'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater 

                       
Love to think that you couldn't love another 

                                         
On your list with all your other women 

                                 
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater 

                        
You make me feel like I couldn't love another 

                            
I can't help it…you’re my kind of man 

Bridge: 
C    C    Am  Am  Am ---> x4 
Em   Em   Am  Am  Am ---> x2 

<> 
Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?  

Em   Em   Am  Am  Am ---> x2 

Verse 3: 

                              
So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles 

                                   
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble 

                                            
Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions 

Chorus 3: <> 
'Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater 
Love to think that you couldn't love another 
Share a toothbrush…you’re my kind of man 
I still love to wash in your old bathwater 
Make me feel like I couldn't love another 
I can't help it…you're my kind of man 

Outro: <> 
             
             

                       
No I can't help myself 

                    
I can't help myself 

                                                 
I still love to wash in your old bathwater
