Am
 
Am
You know what? I?m in a good mood today
Am
Well I?m so happy it?s not yesterday
Am
Man it was brutal, with planning tissues
E
I guess you could say that I had issues
Am
Well it?s looking good, I dug my way out
E
I?m changing up what the story?s about
 
[Refrão]
Am
When the world stops making sense
Just take in what you can get
Am
When the people on the streets start looking like silhouettes
Am
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
E
When the world stops making sense
I make a new alphabet
 
Am
Small thinking people with their small thinking ways
Am
I don?t have time to hear what they say
Am
This is my world, I?m seeking my claim
E
Thanks for the invite, no thanks just the same
Am
It?s looking good now, full speed ahead
E
I?ll live the day, by tomorrow I?m dead
 
Chorus
 
Break
 
Am
You know what? I?m in a good mood today
Am
Well I?m so happy it?s not yesterday
Am
Man it was brutal, but it?s all in the past
E
It?s good to know that it don?t have to last
 
Am E
