    C       G                    F     G 
Got up on the wrong side of life today yeah 
            C       G                    F     G         
Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late 
    C       G                    F         G 
My phone doesn't work cause it's out of range 
      C       G                   F        G 
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days 
    C          G                 F        G 
You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground 
       C       G                      F       G 
No you can't cause you couldn't catch me anyhow 
     C         G                    F     G 
Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out no 
           C        G       F          G 
Today it's like I'm under a heavy cloud 
 
 
    C G F  G  C G F G 
And I feel so alive 
                 C G F            G 
I can't help myself, don't you realize 
 
Am                      C    
I just wanna scream and lose control 
F                     G 
Throw my hands up and let it go 
Am                      C      F    G  
Forget about everything and runaway yeah 
Am                      C 
I just want to fall and lose myself 
F                   G    
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell 
Am                      C      F    G 
Forget about everything and runaway yeah 
 
 
 
Repeat Chords C-G-F-G  (like the first Chorus) 
 
So So is how I'm doing if you're wondering 
I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning 
Stay there come closer it's at your own risk 
Yeah you know how it is life can be a bitch 
 
   C G F  G  C G F G 
And I feel so alive 
                 C G F            G
