[Intro]
C#m E A E B B |  x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
C#m                                        C#m E A B
Why you wanna tell me how to live my life? 
C#m                                            C#m E A B
Who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
 
 
[Bridge 1]
C#m
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand
E
Innocence is the difference between a boy and a man 
   F#m
My daddy lived the lie, its just the price that he paid 
  A
Sacrificed his life, just slave it away 
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m             A                E
Ooh, if there's one thing I hang on to, 
           B
It gets me through the night
C#m           A               E
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
         B
Im gonna live my life
C#m                     A
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
E                               B
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly
         F#m
When the world gets in my face,
      A A             C#m E A E B
I say,    Have A Nice Day
            C#m E A B
Have A Nice Day
 
 
[Verse 2]
C#m                                           C#m E A B
Take a look around you, look its what he sees
C#m                                               C#m E A B
We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams
 
 
[Bridge 2]
C#m
Let me be the first to shake ya helping hand
E
Everybody, pray enough to take a stand 
F#m
I knocked on every door, on every dead end street, 
A
Looking for forgiveness, What's left to believe?
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m             A                E
Ooh, if there's one thing I hang on to, 
           B
It gets me through the night
C#m           A               E
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
         B
Im gonna live my life
C#m                     A
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
E                               B
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly
         F#m
When the world gets in my face,
      A A             C#m E A E B
I say,    Have A Nice Day
            C#m E A B
Have A Nice Day

I've gotta raise my hands to stand my ground.
Well I say, Have A Nice Day.)

Have A Nice Day
 
Have A Nice Day
