Verse 1: (Picking)
So you dont want to hear about my good song?
And you dont want to hear about how i am getting on
With all the things that i can get done
The sun is in the sky & i am by my lonesome
So you don't want to hear about my good day?
You have better things to do than to hear me say

(Chourus)
C              F#          F             Am
God its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
C              F#              F
I took out the trash today and i'm on fire...

(Verse 2)
Am                                 F#   F
So you don't want to hear about my good friends?
You dont have the guts to take the truth or consequence
Success is in the eye of the beholder
And its looking even better over your cold shoulder

(Bridge 1)
        Am                    F#             F
I'm not suggesting you up and line me up for questioning
But jesus think about the bridges you are burning
And i'm betting
That even though you knew it from the start
      E                            Dm       G
You'd rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heart

(Verse 3:  Picking)

So go ahead and talk about your bad day...
I want all the details of the pain and misery
That you are inflicting on the others
I consider them my sisters and i'd like their numbers

Chorus: (Same chords as last chorus)

God its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
I took up croquet today and i'm on fire

Bridge 2:

C               F#           F      Am
I picked up the pieces of my broken ego
       C               F#              F       Am
I have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
        C                F#            F
But i'd love to have you up to see the place
              E                                Ab             B
& i'd like to do more than survive i'd like to rub it in your face.....

Chorus:  (Same chords as last chorus)

Hey! its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
I had so much fun today and i'm on fire
God it's been a lovely day everything's been going my way
Ever since you went away hey i'm on fire.....

A5 F#5 F5
         I'm on fire...
A5 F#5 F5
         I'm on fire...

   Am                             F#   F
So you dont want to hear about my good day?
