[Intro]
D  Em  D G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                           Em
Woke up this morning with a bear inside my brain
G                                  D
Scratchin' and a-clawin' tryin' to get out of its cage
                          Em
There ain't no taming it, there ain't no blaming it
G              D
For its animal ways
                 A
I let him out to play
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D   Em
It's a beautiful day
          G   D
Beautiful day
              Em
Beautiful day
          G   D
Beautiful day
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                        Em
So many days that I have spent lost in the fog
G                                  D
Bound and gettin' on but I'm still trying to get along
                          Em
She said to me she sees a sadness in my eyes
G                               D                             A
I was trying to hide it while I waited for the worst of it to fade
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D   Em
It's a beautiful day
          G   D
Beautiful day
              Em
Beautiful day
          G   D
Beautiful day
 
 
[Bridge]
        Bm                                    E
You can cry all night, baby you ain't gotta explain
    G
But I won't be the one who will define you by your pain
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                                   Em
All night long the tractor trailers rattle all my walls
G                              D
Huffin' and a-puffin' hustlin' overnight hauls
                   Em
Used to be furious but I got used to it
G                          D
Just like a sailor does to waves
             A
Kinda glad I stayed
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D   Em
It's a beautiful day
          G   D
