[Intro ]Dm7 G C Am
Dm7 G
Wakin' up late
C Am7
Tuesday, quarter after eight
Dm G
I feel out of place
C Am7
Breakfast don't taste the same
Dm7 G
Take me away
C Am7
I can't take this any longer
Dm7 G
I don't wanna wait
C Am7
For this to be yesterday
F G
Though I try to rewind it
E Am7
There's nothing behind it, no, no
F G C7M Am
Today's just a really, really bad day
Dm7 G
Shifted and turned
C Am7
Twisted and lost in my world
Dm7 G
I can't catch a break
C Am7
Break off my plans today
Dm7 G
My phone's dead
C Am7
My head is hurtin'
Dm7 G
I don't feel my best
C Am7
But the world keeps turning
F G
So what if it rains?
E7 Am7
I'm gonna cry anyway
Dm7 G
Though I try to rewind it
E7 Am7
There's nothing behind it, no no
Dm7 G
And I ain't got nothing left, nothing left
E7 Am
Let it all slip away, oh, oh

Today's just a really, really, really bad day

Bad day (oh-oh), a bad, bad day (oh-oh)

Bad day (oh-oh), a bad, bad day (oh-oh)
