    GOODBYE ON A BAD DAY   Shannon Lawson

B      C#m                                B     
  You slipped off your wedding band  And tucked it deep 

inside my hand
E                                       B
Forced a smile and headed towards the door
        A             
And as you walked out I heard you say
  E        
Things just haven't been going our way
C#m                   B        A
I don't love you any-more Now after the day I had
    B
I could have done without that.

CHORUS:
             E                      C#m
I'd rather watch the house we built burn to the ground
A                                      B
Stand out in the pouring rain let the good Lord strike me down
         A             E                        C#m
Then to sit here and watch you walk           a-way 
                     have my whole world walk a-way
C#m                  A                   B            E
Anything would be better than your good-bye on a bad day.
  1.)B to 2nd verse 2.)A B A B to bridge


                C#m
I've seen that look I can always tell 
           B  
It means stay away from me and go straight to hell
         A                                B
That's exactly where I'll be when you're gone
     C#m                            B
And after a day like this My whole world's gone all wrong
Go to chorus
BRIDGE:
(B)               C#m
Wo Oh  You're the one thing I had left
           E           
When the whole world holds me down
    C#m
Now how can I keep going when you're not around
Go to chorus

ENDING:
A               E
Ohhhhhhh-oh-oh-oh
