Intro:
Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky’s faded to grey
The tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carrying on
Stand in the line just ahead of the law
You’re faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces everytime
And I don’t need no carrying 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
x 2
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carrying 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
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing it turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
Well I’m not wrong
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:
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
It seem what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
had a bad day

C Em F G x2

I woke up early to baby blue eyes from the fire whoah whoah
And when the sun comes through and lights you like the angel you are
whoa whoa

[F/C] I know I do you wrong when I?m[F/C] with you I?ve been gone

With every season change, it looks the same November to June whoa whoa
And don’t these empty streets skip a beat the flowers don’t bloom whoa whoa

I can?t believe I missed your birthday again
And I wanna come back but I just don?t know when now
Chorus:
And I?m so lonely
Your not here with me
That?s why I?m gonna be on the next plane home

The road that never ends around the bend I see your smile whoa whoa
I?d swim across the sea to be with you for a while whoa whoa

Cause I?m made a life would be gone
Now the way that I feel I just don?t belong

Chorus:
And I?m so lonely
You’re not here with me
That?s why I?m gonna be on the next plane home

And you?re you?re the only
Face I wanna see
That?s why I?m gonna be on the next plane home

Stand around try to make every moment
And be somebody yeah anybody
It seems the whole world is taking me over
I need somebody to help me get back to

And I?ve always been a million miles away
But things are [C/B]gonna change I just [C/B]wanna come home

And you?re you?re the only
Face I wanna see
That?s why I?m gonna be on the next plane home
Yeah I’m taking the next plane home
Now I?m getting the next plane home
Now I?m taking the next plane home
