Dm F C Dm x2 [Solo] Dm F C Dm x2 [Verse 1]
               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.
[Solo] Dm F C Dm x2 [Verse 2]
          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, don't you mess with my plans.
[Solo] Dm F C Dm x4 [Chorus 1]
 C                G C                   B
Some stormy nights, your memory haunts me,

Bb           Bb      C
You won't go away.
[Verse 3]
               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.
[Verse 4]
               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               B
Some lonely nights, I hear you calling,

Bb           Bb      C
Won't you go away?
[Verse 5]
               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.
