[Eb]
Where is the moment we need it the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
[Ab]
[Cm] Tell me [Eb] your blue skies fade [Ab] to grey
Tell me [Eb] your passion's gone [Fm] away
And I don't need no care [Bb] at all
[Eb] You're standing [Ab] in line just to hit a [Bb] new low
You're
[Eb] faking [Ab] a smile with the coffee [Bb] to go
[Cm] And tell me [Eb] your life's been way [Ab] off line
You fall [Eb] into pieces [Fm] every time
And I don't need no care [Bb] at all
[Eb] Cause you had a bad day, you take it [Ab] one down
You sing a [Fm] sad song just to turn [Bb] it around
You say you [Eb] don't know, you tell me [Ab] don't lie
You're working [Fm] a smile and you go [Bb] for a ride
You had a [Cm] bad day, the camera [Bb] don't lie
[Eb] You're coming [Ab] back down and you really [Eb] don't mind
You had a [Fm] bad day, [Bb] [Eb] you had a bad day
[Bb] [Fm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Cm] Well you need [Gm] a blue sky [Ab] holiday
The point is [Eb] they laugh at what [Fm] you say
And I don't need no care [Bb] at all
You had a [Eb] bad day, you take it [Ab] one down
You sing a [Fm] sad song just to turn [Bb] it around
You say you [Eb] don't know, you tell me [Ab] don't lie
You're working [Fm] a smile and you go [Bb] for a ride
You had a [Cm] bad day, the camera [Gm] don't lie
You're coming [Ab] back down and you really [Eb] don't mind
You had a [Fm] bad day, you had a [Gm] bad day
[Gb] Sometimes the system goes all the way
[B] And the whole thing it turns out wrong
[Gb] You might not make it back
And you know that [B] you could be well that strong
And I'm [Eb] not lying
[Bb] So [Eb] [Bb] where was the passion when you needed the most
Oh, you [Eb] and I
You kick up [Ab] the leaves and the magic [Bb] is lost
[Eb] Cause you had a bad day, you take it [Ab] one down
You sing a [Fm] sad song just to turn [Bb] it around
You say you [Eb] don't know, you tell me [Ab] don't lie
You're working [Fm] a smile and you go [Bb] for a ride
You had a [Cm] bad day, you see what [B] you like
And how does [Eb] it feel, one [F] more time
You had a [Ab] bad day, [Bb] you had a [Eb] bad [Ab] day
[Fm] I [Bb] had a bad day
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm]
