Bad Day by Daniel Powter Capo on 1st fret
D A D A
Where is the moment we needed the most? You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost.
Bm A G F#m Em
They tell me your blue sky’s fade to grey. They tell me your passion's gone away.
A
And I don't need no carryin' on.
D G A D G A
You stand in the line just to hit a new low. You're faking a smile with the coffee to go.
Bm A G F#m Em
You tell me your life's been way off line. You're falling to pieces every time.
A (Full stop)
And I don't need no carryin' on.
Chorus 1
D G Em A
Cause you had a bad day. You're taking one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around.
D G Em A
You say you don't know. You tell me don't lie. You work at a smile and you go for a ride.
Bm A G F#m
You had a bad day, The camera don't lie. You're coming back down and you really don't mind.
Em A D D A D A
You had a bad day. You had a bad day.
Bm A G F#m Em
Well you need a blue-sky holiday. The point is they laugh at what you say.
A
And I don't need no carryin' on.

Sometimes the system goes on the brink, and the whole thing turns out wrong.

You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that strong. And I'm not wrong.
