D#
I had the greatest day of my life
     A#
The boys were shooting doubles
under western starlight
Cm                        G#
I rode a boat across the bay
D#
Pheonix to Seattle to San Francisco
A#
Hearing Debbie laugh under downtown bar glow
Cm                                         G#
Louie telling me he feels free from yesterday
D#
Drank a cup of coffee couple hours south of
      A#
The place I used to run around
Cm                              G#
When I was too young to really know
     D#
The difference in love and longing for it
A#
When to shut up and when to stay with it
Cm                          G#
How to forgive and just let go

Chorus:
Cm           A#
This is the greatest day of my life
 D#            G#
If I move or close my eyes
Cm                A#      D# G#
It'll be gone and so will I
    Cm             A#
So come on in and stay awhile
D#                            G#
Years are just moments in a great big pile
Cm                           A#                D# G#
She's there laughing on the porch swing of my mind
Cm                   A#               D#
I'm just grateful to be here closing time

I had the greatest day of my life
Wrote up a single in a New York high-rise
How the city makes a country boy dream
Played pool in Colorado after snow all night
It rained in Carolina but we played just fine
Charles is always better than last week
What did I do to deserve all this?
A roof over my head and a band that don't miss
Healthy dog that hugs me when I'm home
Nowadays I don't feel so alone
It can't get better but what have I ever known?

Chorus:
'Cause this is the greatest day of my life
If I move or close my eyes
It'll be gone and so will I
So come on in and stay awhile
Years are just moments in a great big pile
She's there laughin' on the porch swing of my mind
Nowadays I ain't so lonely all the time
And I'm just grateful to be here at closin' time

I had the greatest day of my life
The boys were shootin' doubles
under western starlight
I rode a boat across the bay
