On A Bad Day
View chords used in this chart
G Cadd9
Everytime my tears have ever fallen
G D
I keep 'em in my pocket for a rainy day
G Cadd9
So when it's pouring I take them outside
G D G
I let the rain start washin' my tears a way
Em Bm
But on a bad day when hearts are breaking
C D
There's not enough rain to carry all the tears away
G Cadd9
Everytime I'm blue I take my feeling
G D
I hold it tighter and I don't let go
G Cadd9
And when the sky gets whiter and the air is colder
G D G
I throw my feelings to the falling snow
Em Bm
But on a bad day when hearts are breaking
C D
There's not enough snow to carry all the blues away
G Cadd9
Everytime my heart, my heart starts breaking
G D
I take this pain and I hold it down
G Cadd9
And I wait for the wailin' when the wind is comin'
G D G
And my pain is blowin' through another town
Em Bm
But on a bad day when hearts are breaking
C D
There's not enough wind to carry all the pain away
G Cadd9
Everytime my tears have ever fallen
G D G Cadd9 G
I keep 'em in my pocket for a rainy day
