Bad Day Tab

by Daniel Powter


Capo on 1st fret

Verse 1
				   
Where is the moment we needed the most
					 
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost 
		  		      
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey 
		   		  
They tell me your passion's gone away 
	     		     
And I don't need no carryin' on 


Verse 2
		  			
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
		  			  
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go 
                                  
You tell me your life's been way off line 
                           
You're falling to pieces everytime 
                            
And I don't need no carryin' on 


Chorus
		    			    
Cause you had a bad day, You're taking one down 
				      
You sing a sad song just to turn it around 
		  			   
You say you don't know, You tell me don't lie 
				      
You work at a smile and you go for a ride 
	      		    
You had a bad day, The camera don't lie 
		    			      
You're coming back down and you really don't mind 
	            			
You had a bad day,	 You had a bad day 


Play these between the chorus and the 'pre-chorus'

			


'Pre-chorus'
		 	     
Well you need a blue sky holiday 
		   		    
The point is they laugh at what you say 
	     		     
And I don't need no carryin' on 


Chorus

You had a bad day 
You're taking one down 
You sing a sad song just to turn it around 
You say you don't know 
You tell me don't lie 
You work at a smile and you go for a ride 
You had a bad day 
The camera don't lie 
You're coming back down and you really don't mind 
You had a bad day (Hold the 'E')

(Oh.. Holiday..) 


Bridge
		
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 


(Playing between bridge and chorus)
					     
So where is the passion when you need it the most 
	   					      
Oh you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost 


Chorus (some changes in the chords)
		    			   
Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down 
				      
You sing a sad song just to turn it around 
		  			  
You say you don't know, You tell me don't lie 
				     
You work at a smile and you go for a ride 
	      			
You had a bad day, You've seen what you like 
				  
And how does it feel for one more time 
	          		    
You had a bad day,    You had a bad day 

Had a bad day 
Had a bad day 
Had a bad day 
Had a bad day 
Had a bad day
