 Am

Mama can't you help me try to understand

 C

Innocence's the difference between a boy and a man

 G5

My daddy lived a lie it's just the price that he paid

 G5                       F5

Sacrificed his life just slaving away



[ CHOURUS ]

 Am                C                  G5

Oh, if there's one thing I'll hold on to, it gets me through the night



 Am               C                   G5

I ain't gonna live like I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life



 Am            C          F               G5

Shinin' like a diamond, rollin' with the dice



 Am            C          F               G5

Standin' on the edge and ?showin' the wind how to fly?



 Am                   C             G5                &

When the world gets in my face I'll say, Have A Nice Day, Have a Nice Day





[ VERSE 2 ] as verse 1



Take a look around you nothin's what it seems

We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams

Let me be the first to shake the helping hand

Of anybody brave enough to take the stand

I've knocked on every door on every dead end street

Lookin' for forgiveness, what's left to believe
