I’ve had a bad day
And nothing ever seems to go my way
I’ve got a heartache
don’t wanna think about it
And every time I try to smile I cry so
I’ll just hide my face
Get out of my way
don’t wanna talk about it

I’m hanging on today
and nothing’s gonna stop me anyway
I’m holding on cause I’m strong
and I’m the only one that can make a change

And I don’t wanna fight
I gotta live my life
I’m gonna make it alright
I’m hanging on
And nothing’s gonna stop me...

VERSE 2 [same as verse 1]
I went the wrong way
But I’m not lost it’s a good mistake
I saw the day break
I’m gonna shout about it
Oh, and every time I turn around I find that
I’m alone again
I’ve had a bad day
I’m gonna laugh about it
PRE-CHORUS
And I’ll be fine
I’m gonna be alright

I’ve had a bad day
just figure out the strumming for some parts. it shouldn't be so hard. if you have any
corrections, just leave a comment and i'll see what i can do. have a great day, everyone.
ps. this is the version she plays on MTV overdrive.
