Best Day of My Life (Zac Barnett, Dave Rublin, Matt Sanchez, and James Adam Shelley)

C F C F

C I had a dream so big and loud

I jumped so high I touched the clouds F Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh C I stretched my hands out to the sky

We danced with monsters through the night F Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh C I'm never gonna look back,

Woah, never gonna give it up Am F No, please don't wake me now

Chorus:

C Oo-o-o-o-oo F This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife (My li-i-i-i-i-ife) C Oo-o-o-o-oo F This is gonna be the best da y of my li-ife (My li-i-i-i-i-ife)

C I howled at the moon with friends

And then the sun came crashing in F Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh C But all the possibilities, No limits just epiphanies F Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, Wo-o-o-o-o-oh

C I'm never gonna look back,

Woah, never gonna give it up Am F No, just don't wake me now

(Chorus)

Bridge:

C I hear it calling outside my window,

I feel it in my soul (soul)

The stars were burning so bright,

The sun was out 'til midnight

I say we lose control (control)

(Chorus) C This is gonna be, this is gonna be,

this is gonna be F The best day of my life (My li-i-i-i-i-ife)

Everything is looking up, everybody up now C Oo-o-o-o-oo

F This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife C (My li-fe)
