Version 1
[Intro]
Dm F C Dm
Dm F C Dm
Well, like a bad penny you've turned up again,
Dm F C Dm
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
Dm F C Dm
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Dm F C Dm
Well, you double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell.
[Verse 1]
Dm F C Dm
Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
Dm F C Dm
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold.
Dm F C Dm
Well, it can't ever be like it was then,
Dm F C Dm
Well, don't you fool with me, baby,
Dm F C Dm
Don't you mess with my plans.
[Chorus 1]
C G C
Some stormy nights, your memory haunts me,
Bb
You won't go away.
[Verse 2]
Dm F C Dm
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change,
Dm F C Dm
Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame.
Dm F C Dm
I think you know I'm still sore, but I'm on the mend,
Dm F C Dm
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again.
Dm F C Dm
Well, like a bad penny spins around and around,
Dm F C Dm
Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down,
Dm F C Dm
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games,
Dm F C Dm
You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way.
[Chorus 2]
C G C
Some lonely nights, I hear you calling,
Bb
Won't you go away?
[Outro]
Dm F C Dm
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again,
Dm F C Dm
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
Dm F C Dm
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Dm F C Dm
Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell.
