                          A
 I got worries by the ton, gettin' cancer's only one

D                       G
 Overtaxed and alimonied, tired of eatin' fried baloney

D                              A
 I got burdens on my shoulders, dying young or growin' older,

D
 There's some brain cells that I'm missin'

G                               A
 But despite it all, I'd like to say
[Chorus]
                 D
 I'm gonna have a good day today

             A
 Gonna have a good time anyway

             G                    A
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away

           D
 Gonna be a good day today
[Verse 2]
D                                 A
 Bills and pills and former wives, past mistakes and former lives

D                          G
 Bank account is overdrawn, out of Prozac, hairline's gone

D                          A
 Hearing voices in my head, say I should've stayed in bed

D                                 G                           A
 Dog just died, but what the heck, nothing worse can happen anyway
[Chorus]
                      D
 So,, I'm gonna have a good day today

                     A
 Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway

             G                    A
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away

           D
 Gonna be a good day today

D                                  A
 Pulled my back and wrecked my car, girlfriend stole my VCR

D                               G
 Letter came from Sixty Minutes, say they wanna put me in it

D                            A
 Tell me my career just died, years ago I might've cried

D                             G                             A
 Now I'm just too old to do it, may be true, but screw it anyway
[Chorus]
                     D
 Me, I'm gonna have a good day today

                     A
 And I'm gonna have a good time anyway

             G                    A
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away

           D
 Gonna be a good day today

 Hey, I'm gonna have a good day today

                     A
 Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway

             G                    A
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away

           D
 Gonna be a good day today
