Capo 4th fret 
 
Verse 1 
 
C 
I woke up today with my mood in the way 
F                         C 
With no means to forget 
C 
With all of my hopes of your love on the ropes 
F                               G 
I haven't got back up yet 
F          G 
And the couple I saw kissing and carrying on 
C                              Am 
Didn't help change a thing 
F                                                 G 
It's the same old sight I saw last night 
F                            G 
In every one of my dreams 
 
Chorus: 
             F                                          C 
I've had better days, in airports with rain delays 
                            G                            C 
Flat tires in traffic jams, and any time I've been damned 
            F                                                        C 
I've had better days, when the pain wouldn't go away 
                              G 
And tears watering down my pride 
F                   C 
Yea, I've had better 
 
Verse 2 
 
I got up, went down to work 

Anything's better than this 

Better than a death with each passing breath 

You're too hard to miss 

But I won't miss the pain that drives my brain 

Straight into a twirl 

When all I see is your memory spinning 'round my world 
 
Chorus 
 
I've had better days, in airports with rain delays 

Flat tires in traffic jams, and any time I've been damned 

I've had better days, when the pain wouldn't go away 

And tears watering down my pride 

Yea, I've had better 
 
 
G                                                             F 
Well, I've got to hold my head up and look around 
G                                           Am      D 
I can't let just one day get me down 
 
 
Chorus 
 
I'll have better days, when everything goes my way 
I'll fly over traffic jams, just like Superman 
I'll have better days when the pain just goes away 
And the tears leave and I find my pride 
Yea, I'll have better 
 
Well, I woke up today with my mood in the way 
And no means to forget
