   A#                G          F         C        G
I heard it from the gangster I heard it from the priest
I heard it from my best friend way down in the middle east

Chorus:
    F   G A#    C         D      C   D     C
   Have a nice day that's all I hear everyday
   Have a nice day, I don't believe a word you say

I heard it from the landlord when he kicked me out
I heard it from the spirits as they possessed my house

Chorus

G          D#     F         G           D#     D
When they look me in the eye I turn the other way
It's just a trained reaction something they gotta say

I heard it in New Zealand I heard it at the club
I heard it from my doctor before he pulled the plug

Chorus - x2
