Best Day Of My Life

C
We grow apart

               F
just to be on our own.

              C
And we walk right next

               Am
to all that we have known.

                      C
Give me your hand.

                              F
And we can climb further up.

            C
And we climb the trees

                                           Am
and the forest seems to be bigger now.

                    F
Oh we have so much more.


(ooh ooh ooh oooh)

C         Dm         F
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss.

C         Dm         F
I could tell that something wasn't right with

C  Dm  F
you.

C   Dm  F
With you.

C
We take our time

                    F
to see what is up ahead.

            C
But we're scared

                         Am
of the past and what is


left.

                C
We'll stay inside

                      F
and never let out our heads.

              C
And we'll pretend

                             Am
that the world it will never end.

                 F
No,it will never end.


(ooh ooh ooh oooh)


C         Dm         F
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss.

C         Dm         F
I could tell that something wasn't right with

C  Dm  F
you.

C   Dm  F
With you.


( one, two, three, four)

C         Dm         F
I could feel it glowing in the night with.

C         Dm         F
I could tell that something wasn't right with

C  Dm  F
you.

C   Dm  F
With you.


Am                  F
Why don't you come back down

                 C
so we can turn it around?

   Am
(ooh)

                       F
Why don't you ever know

           C
just to let it go


(oh-oh-oh)

Am
'Cause nothing comes around


for you.

     G
So bring me back from one to two

        C
Well tell me what else I could do.


(ooh, ooh, ooh oooh)


C         Dm         F
I knew she was trouble from the first kiss.

C         Dm         F
I could tell that something wasn't right with

C  Dm  F
you.

C   Dm  F
With you.


(one, two, three, four)


C         Dm         F
I could feel it glowing in the night with.

C         Dm         F
I could tell that something wasn't right with

C  Dm  F
you.

C   Dm  F
With you.


Why don't you come back down


so we can turn it around?

[Intro] 
A

[Verse 1]
A
My home don't feel the same
Last year flew by goodbye to the good vibes
What we thought were the best times
Nights out with the people I love
D
  Now I'm lost in the neighborhood
That raised me, praised me, made me who I am
But my father was twice the man
And now that pain's resurfacing

[Verse 2]
A
Brooklyn don't feel the same
Maybe I'm the one who's changed or the one to blame
Another drink down the drain
Ten more before I get on that plane
D
  I swear I knew just what to say
It's all there on the tip of my tongue
But I don't feel good enough for anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
      F#m
But I won't fold
             D
I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling

[Chorus]
A
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
D
I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul
F#m
I-I-I-I got this feeling
I-I-I got this feeling
D                                           E
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride

[Verse 3]
A
Pushed out of the family tree
Upside down, but it was a good life
I fell hard for the wine in France
I didn't call you back cause I was learning to dance
D
  And just who I'd become
It's all there on the tip of my tongue
Wish I was good enough for anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
      F#m
But I won't fold
             D
I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling

[Chorus]
A
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
D
I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul
F#m
I-I-I-I got this feeling
I-I-I got this feeling
D                                           E
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride

[Post-Chorus]
A                 D
Take on me, who I am
Cause this is me

[Bridge]
              A
Like a fish out of water

Do I belong here?
        D                                        E
But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride
           A
I'm lost in the ocean

Like a note in a bottle
        D                                        E
But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride

[Pre-Chorus]
A                   
This is me, who I am...

[Chorus]
A
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
D
I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul
F#m
I-I-I-I got this feeling
I-I-I got this feeling
D                                           E
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride

[Post-Chorus]

Take on me, who I am
Cause this is me

        E7                  Am
por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada
         C
Y gracias

De Nada

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
