[C#] Many years ago, when I was working in a furniture factory right out of high school, they had
a local [A#] singing songwriter contest, [C#] and I'd get in, and I [C] got in several times.
A couple times I won, a couple times I didn't.
But there was this man that would come up to me after my show, and he would compliment
me and say he thought I was a good songwriter.
[A] And that really encouraged me to keep on going.
Anyway, not long after [N] that, his wife left him, and I was called to check on him.
And I said, how you doing, Steve?
And he said, well, I had a good day every now and then.
And I wrote that down because that was a real positive way of looking at [A] life.
But Steve, you know, he killed himself because it was just too much of a heartache.
But his words live on in this [B] song.

[B] I was staring by the window in [E] my box of [A] shorts
On a [E] stormy night
[A]
[E] Blindsided from out of nowhere
[E] You said [B] goodbye
But there was light [E] at the end of a tunnel
[B] Time [E] was healing my heart
[B] Some days it's deep cut, just as bleeding
And [B] there's always God singing
I have [G#m] a good day every [F#] now and then
I [B] count my blessings [E] on one hand
I stopped believing the sun was [F#m] shining
[F#] I have [B] a good [E] day every now and then
[B] That guy you're seeing [E] is a pretty boy
[B] With a hard-bodied [E] physique
[A] [B] I'm [E] on his shoes, a black Mercedes
And [B] he's younger [B] than me
I ain't missed a day of work [E] in two whole weeks now
I didn't drink last night
[A] Looked at your picture and [E] shit just one tear
Before I turned [B] down a lot of help man
I have a good day every now and [F#m] then
I count my blessings on [E] one hand
I stopped believing the sun was shining
