[C] [D]
[F] [C] [D]
[F] [D] Well I swear, if any of [F] you [C] are turned [D] up again,
You're in [F] my sights [C] as a mist on [D] my lens.
How did you know [F] how it was [C] when I tripped [D] the plan?
Well you stabbed me, who [F] healed me baby?
[C] And I broke [D] like the shell.
[G] [F] [D]
[Gm] [Fm] [D] Well I swear, if any [F] of you [C] show enough [D] love,
I'm [F] out of reach, [C] your smile shows [D] I'm cold.
Well if you [F] can't help me, [C] like it [Dm] must then,
[D] Well don't you fool [F] me baby, don't you mess with [D] my plans.
[F] [D]
[Fm] [D]
[F] [C] [D]
[Dm] [D]
[C] You charm, stun [G] me night, [C] your memory haunts me,
[Bb] You won't go away, [C]
[D] like a bad [F] penny you've,
[C] Tied up [D] in a chain, trying to fit [F] into the picture,
[C] You can't get [D] inside the [G] frame.
I think you [D] know [F] I'm so sorry, [C] but I'm [D] on the mend.
Time [F] sure has changed, [Cm] it won't happen [D] again,
Like a bad [F] face spins [C] around [Dm] and around,
Well you won't know what's [F] gone wrong, [C] when it [D] all falls down.
You got a nerve [F] to turn your arm, [C] stop [D] playing games,
Your heart [F] ain't even moving, [C] you got a spin on [D] your ways.
[C] Some lonely [G] night, [C] I hear you calling, [Bb] but you don't answer,
[C]
[D] Like a bad [F] penny [C] you've, tied up [Dm] again,
You're [F] in my sights, [C] there's a mist on [D] my lips,
I think you know [F] how it goes, [Am] when I trip [Dm] the plan,
[D] You got a nerve [F] to turn your arm, stop playing games,
[C] [D]
Your heart ain't even moving, you got a spin on your ways.
[F] [C] [D] Some
[F] lonely night, [C] [Dm]
[D] [F] [C] I hear you [D]
[F] [C] calling, [D]
[G] but you don't answer,
Like [Fm] [C] a bad penny you've, tied [D] up again,
You're in my sights, [Dm] [D] there's
[F] [G]
[D] [Dm]
a mist on my lips,
I think you know [D]
[F] [C] how [Dm]
[F] [Dm] [D]
[F] [C] [D]
[F] [C] [Dm]
[F] it goes, when I trip the plan,
[N]
