[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
