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?

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             C#m E A E B
I say, Have A Nice Day
            C#m E A B
Have A Nice Day

Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams

Let me be the first to shake a helping hand
Anybody brave enough to take a stand
I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street
Looking for forgiveness
What's left to believe?

Chorus - x2

            C#m E A B B
Have a Nice Day

When the world keeps trying, to drag me down
I gotta raise my hands, I'm gonna stand my ground
Well, I say, hey, have a nice day

Have a nice day
Have a nice day
