E                             F#m                  (F# G#)
  Woke up this morning with a bear inside my brain

A                                  E                   Esus4
Scratchin' and a-clawin' tryin' to get out of its cage

E                           F#m                      (F# G#)
  There ain't no taming it, there ain't no blaming it

A              E
For its animal ways

                 Badd11   Badd11
I let him out to play
[Chorus]
              E      F#m11
It's a beautiful day

[Verse 2]
E                          F#m                   (F# G#)
  So many days that I have spent lost in the fog

 A                                   E                 Esus4
Bound and gettin' on but I'm still trying to get along

E                            F#m
  She said to me she sees a sadness in my eyes

    A                               E                             Badd11  Badd11
But I was trying to hide it while I waited for the worst of it to fade
[Chorus]
              E      F#m11
It's a beautiful day

          Asus2  E

[Bridge]
        C#m                                   F#
You can cry all night, baby you ain't gotta explain

    A*
But I won't be the one who will define you by your pain
[Verse 3]
E                                   F#m                 (F# G#)
All night long the tractor trailers rattle all my walls

A                              E              Esus4
Huffin' and a-puffin' hustlin' overnight hauls

E                    F#m                (F# G#)
  Used to be furious but I got used to it

A                      E
Just like a sailor does to waves

             Badd11  Badd11
Kinda glad I stayed
[Chorus]
              E      Asus2
