Have a Nice Day

Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?

(B5)Who are you to tell me if it's black or white?

(B5)Mama, can you help me try and understand,

is (E5)innocence the diff'rence 'tween a boy and a man?

My (F#m)daddy lived a lie.

That's just the price that he paid.

(A5)Sacrificed his life just slavin' away.

Oh, if there's one thing I hang onto that gets me (B5)through the night.

I ain't gonna (A5)do what I don't want to.

I'm gonna (B5)live my life.

Shinin' like a diamond, rollin' with the dice.

Standin' on the ledge, I'll show the wind how to fly.

When the (F#m)world gets in my face

I say, (A5)have a nice (C#m)day.

(B5)Have a nice (C#m)day.

(B5)Take a look around you, nothin's what it seems.

(B5)We're livin' in the broken home of hopes and dreams.

(B5)Let me be the first to shake a helpin' hand.

(E5)Anybody brave enough to take a stand?

I've (F#m)knocked on ev'ry door on ev'ry deadend street (A5)lookin' for forgiveness and what's left to believe.

Oh

(B5)Ohh, ooh, (C#m)if there's one thing I hang onto that gets me (B5)through the night.

I ain't gonna (A5)do what I don't want to.

I'm gonna (B5)live my life.

Shinin' like a diamond, rollin' with the dice.

Standin' on the ledge, I'll show the wind how to fly.

When the (F#m)world gets in my face

I say, (A5)have a nice (C#m)day.

(B5)Have a nice (C#m)day.

(B5)Have a nice (C#m)day.

(B5)When the (C#m)world keeps (E5)tryin' (A5)to drag (E5)me down,

gotta (C#m)raise my (E5)hands, (A5)gonna stand (E5)my ground.

I (C#m)say, (E5)(A5)hey,

(B5)have a nice (C#m)day.

(B5)Have a nice (C#m)day.

(B5)Have a nice day.
