Tom: F
F E7 F E7
[Verse 1]
F E7
I knew the weather was supposed to turn gray
F E7
but I didn't know it'd never go away
F E7
until I answered when my telephone rang
Eb
bad days coming my way
F Dm
'cause I heard my baby saying
F Dm
she's gonna be leaving me
Eb
bad days must be on my tracks
F Dm
'cause I heard my baby saying
F Dm
she won't be coming back
Eb E7 F E7 F E7
bad days, followed by those awful nights
[Verse 2]
F E7
I could've told you she was tired of my ways
F E7
I had no more surprises up my sleeve
F E7
but when she went away, it sure surprised me, oh
Eb
bad days must be on my back
F Dm
'cause I sense my baby's never
F Dm
she's never coming back
Eb
bad days must be here to stay
F Dm
'cause it seems so long since she
F Dm
since she went away
Eb E7 F E7 F E7
bad days and always those awful nights
[Verse 3]
F E7
So this morning when I slept so late
F E7
I couldn't move beneath the heavy weight
F E7
I heard somebody at my backyard gate, oh
Eb
there she was coming through the haze saying
F Dm
"Hold me, baby, and I hope I'm not too late"
Eb
bad days are never coming again
F Dm
because I heard my baby say she's
F Dm
she's never leaving me
Eb E7 F
happy days and no more of those awful nights
