C


[Verse 1]
C
 I don't need to write a book, 'bout the chances that I took
Am
  All the hearts I had to break, I had to live with my mistakes
F
 All the ghosts that haunt my past, all the dreams that didn't last
        G
Burning candles at both ends, no way to pretend

Watching bad luck take away all my friends


[Verse 2]
C
 As a boy I never cried, till the day my mama died
Am
  After that I, I left my home, San Francisco all alone
F
 With Eddie, Bill and Dave all gone, thought I'd put 'em in my song
    G
And maybe to you, well, it don't mean a thing, it's about my life that I wanna sing


[Chorus]
F                                                                G
 Hey, hey, I'm feeling okay. Hey, hey, it's a brand new day, you know

I'm taking it slow, I've gotta say, listen now
F
 Hey, hey, I'm feeling alright. I'm feeling alright tonight


[Verse 3]
C
 My memories, they linger on, some are big, and some are strong
Am
  Some are happy, some are sad, some are good, and some were bad
F
Things that can move you and bring you to tears, minutes then hours and days turn to years
G
I've turned the page, I've had kids of my own, the time that I cherish being at home


[Chorus]
F                                                                G
 Hey, hey, I'm feeling okay. Hey, hey, it's a brand new day, you know

I'm taking it slow, I've gotta say, listen now
F
 Hey, hey, I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright tonight
G                                         C
 I'm feeling okay, yeah. It's a brand new day
          Am                F
Brand new day, it's alright now, yeah
           G
Gonna be a beautiful night, a beautiful, beautiful night


[Verse 4]
F
So many cities, airports and hotels, yhey'll knock you out, count to 10, ring the bell
       G                                           N.C.
It's a God-given gift I can sing, I can write, man I've been doing this all of my life


[Chorus]
F                                                                G
 Hey, hey, I'm feeling okay. Hey, hey, it's a brand new day, you know

I'm taking it slow, so slow, now listen here
F                                                          C
 Hey, hey, I'm feeling alright. I'm feeling alright tonight


[Outro]
                 Am F G                 C
It's a brand new day,  it's a brand new day
