Talking Optimist Blues (Good Day Today)
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
A
I got worries by the ton, gettin' cancer's only one
D G
Overtaxed and alimonied, tired of eatin' fried baloney
D A
I got burdens on my shoulders, dying young or growin' older,
D
There's some brain cells that I'm missin'
G A
But despite it all, I'd like to say
[Chorus]
D
I'm gonna have a good day today
A
Gonna have a good time anyway
G A
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
D
Gonna be a good day today
[Verse 2]
D A
Bills and pills and former wives, past mistakes and former lives
D G
Bank account is overdrawn, out of Prozac, hairline's gone
D A
Hearing voices in my head, say I should've stayed in bed
D G A
Dog just died, but what the heck, nothing worse can happen anyway
[Chorus]
D
So,, I'm gonna have a good day today
A
Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway
G A
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
D
Gonna be a good day today
[Break]
D A G A D
[Verse 3]
D A
Pulled my back and wrecked my car, girlfriend stole my VCR
D G
Letter came from Sixty Minutes, say they wanna put me in it
D A
Tell me my career just died, years ago I might've cried
D G A
Now I'm just too old to do it, may be true, but screw it anyway
[Chorus]
D
Me, I'm gonna have a good day today
A
And I'm gonna have a good time anyway
G A
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
D
Gonna be a good day today
[Outro]
D
Hey, I'm gonna have a good day today
A
Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway
G A
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
D
Gonna be a good day today
