[Verse 1]
             D
Late one day as you're sitting awake
                 E                    A
How do you sleep with those pills you take?
                                D
Rub your eyes and miss your head
                A
All you have is meat and you're a vegetarian
                    D
Put in your key and your car won't start
                    E                              D
Your wife just left you and she took the sports car
              E                     A
All alone and it's one of those days
                                        A
Oh my god you found out your neighbor's gay
 
 
[Chorus]
       D             E
Better days that you had
                 A
And you blame it on fate
                            D
You've got a bitter feeling in the back of your head
E                   A
And concentration's asleep
           D                  E
How do you do the things you do
                      A
And go on living your life?
               D
You beat your kids all the time
E                          A
And you constantly yell at your wife

[Verse 2]
A
You're at work and you lost your check
                                        D
And the only secretary has lost her head
           E
More ideas wasted over the months
A
Now a fire's consumed your home
A
It's all right, you've got your pride
A
But if I were you I would rather die
A
It's all right, you've got your work
A
But if I were you I'd start going to church
 
 
[Chorus]
       D             E
Better days that you had
                 A
And you blame it on fate
                            D
You've got a bitter feeling in the back of your head
E                   A
And concentration's asleep
           D                  E
How do you do the things you do
                      A
And go on living your life?
               D
You beat your kids all the time
E                          A
And you constantly yell at your wife
