Daniel Powter – Bad Day

This video is requested from GuitarTutee.

Standard Tuning:
Capo on 1st Fret

D G A
Where is the moment we needed the most
D G A
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Bm A G
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
G D/F# Em
They tell me your passion’s gone away
Em A
And I don’t need no carryin’ on

D G A
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
D G A
You’re faking a smile with the coffee you go
Bm A G
You tell me your life’s been way off line
G D/F# Em
You’re falling to pieces every time
Em A
And I don’t need no carryin’ on

D
REF: Because you had a bad day
G
You’re taking one down
Em A
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
D
You say you don’t know
G
You tell me don’t lie
Em A
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
Bm
You had a bad day
A
The camera don’t lie
G D/F#
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
Em A
You had a bad day

You had a bad day
Bridge:

F Bb
Will you need a blue sky holiday?
F Bb
The point is they laugh at what you say
D
And I don’t need no carryin’ on

REF: You had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day

Bm Bb/Bm A
So where is the passion when you need it the most
A/F#
Oh you and I
G A
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

  3. Hey. . . . TeNks for the chords of Bad Day/. . . our band won because of this song. . . without you we don’t know the chords and i tenk you very muck cause you gave this song for us. . .rock you!

  4. Please post the strumming patterns for this song. Also, the capo seems to be on the second fret, not first.

  5. why is the capo on the 2nd fret?

  6. hi Yuri How old are You Can You be my txt m8 09153467824

  7. wow. these chords are very jacked up….
    Refrain = Chorus
    Bridge = Pre-Chorus
    and the 2nd to last time through the chorus, its a D. not a Bm
    the G chord sounds better w.o the ring finger. just play G-B-D-G-B-G
    thanks for everything though. i know the video doesn’t go through and explain the chords. its just there for a connection so your not by yourself.
    one musician to another’s criticism. i don’t wanna seem mean. thank you for your time

  8. and the Capo is not on fret 2
    the neck just goes out very similar to the fret board

  9. Hey…..
    Can can you do me a favor…..
    Please study the song “Best Of Me” by David Powter…..
    I really want to play that one…..
    Thanks in advance…..
