[Verse 1]
Well, like a [Am]bad penny y[C]ou t[G]urned up a[Am]gain
You're in my [C]sights, there's a [G]mist on my [Am]lens
I think you know how it [C]was
when [G]I tripped and f[Am]ell
Well, you double- dealed me, [C]ba by,
and I [G]broke like a [Am]shell, hey

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
Well, like a [Am]bad penny y[C]ou s[G]ure lost the g[Am]low
But I'm out of [C]reach,
your [G]smile's sure gone [Am]cold
Well, it can't ever [C]be [G]like it was [Am]then
Well, don't you fool with me, [C]ba by
Well, don't you [G]mess with my [Am]plans

[G]Some stormy [D]nights,
[G]your mem'ry haunts me
You won't [F]go a[G]way

[Verse 3]
Well, like a [Am]bad penny y[C]ou
[G]turned up in the [Am]change
Try to fit into the pic[C]ture you can't
[G]get inside [Am]the frame
I think you know I'm still [C]sore,
but [G]I'm on [Am]the mend
[C]Times sure have changed,
it won't [G]happen a[Am]gain

[Verse 4]
Well, like a [Am]bad penny s[C]pins
a[G]round and a[Am]round
Well, you won't know what's gone
[C]wrong when [G]it all [Am]falls down
You got to learn from now [C]on
to [G]stop playin' [Am]games
You ought to keep on [C]moving,
you got to [G]spin on your [Am]way

[Bridge 2]
[G]Some lonely [D]nights, [G]I hear you callin'
Won't you [F]go a[G]way

[Verse 5]
Well, like a [Am]bad penny y[C]ou
[G]turned up a[Am]gain
You're in my [C]sights, there's a [G]mist on my [Am]lens
I think you know how it [C]was
when [G]I tripped and f[Am]ell
Well, you double-dealed me, [C]baby,
I [G]cracked like a [Am]shell, yeah
