D                     E
No, I don't wanna be sad
                  G       A      D
I don't wanna be sad sad sad no more

          D                            E
It's been 28 days since I've seen the sunshine
          G                                  D
'Cause I just can't seem to lift this cloud away
        D                                      E
I swear all the tears I've cried could fill an ocean
            G                       D
I've been swimming in a sea of misery

         D
I can't find the strength to leave this bed
     E
I'm locked up in my cuckoo head
   G
I feel so low and
       D
And I can't let go
         D
I've got all the symptoms all the signs
   E
I tell my friends I'll be just fine
      G
But truth be told
      D
It's getting old

Chorus:
 D                    E
No, I don't wanna be sad
                  G       A      D
I don't wanna be sad sad sad no more
        D                      E
And I know, some days will be bad
                      G       A      D
But I don't wanna be sad sad sad no more

I've tried every pill the doctor will prescribe me
And I've put myself through weeks of therapy
I've tried meditation, yoga and pilates
It's like happiness just wasn't meant for me

But I’m through, I'm done, I've had enough
I'll ditch this funk, I tell you what
Just watch me now
'Cause I won’t back down
I've got a bad ass personality
So I just need to set it free
It starts today, I’m on my way

Chorus
