[Intro 1]
[C][G][F]

[Verse 1]
A [C]public service [G]announcement followed me
[F]home the other day
I [C]paid it never [G]mind
[Dm]Go away
[C]Shit so thick you could [G]stir it with
a stick- free [F]teflon whitewashed presidency
We're [C]sick of [G]being jerked around
[Dm]Wear that on your sleeve

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G]Broadcast me a joyful noise
un[Am]to the times, Lo[F]rd
Count your [G]blessings
We're sick of being [Am]jerked [F]a- round
We [Em]all fall [G]down

[Verse 2]
Have you [C]ever seen [G]the televised
St. [F]Vitus Subcommittee Prize
In[C]vestigation [G]dance?
Those [Dm]ants-in-pants glances
Well, [C]look behind the [G]eyes
It's a [F]hallowed, hollow anesthetized
[C]"Save my own [G]ass, screw these guys"
[Dm]Smoke and mirror lock down

[Pre-chorus 2]
[G]Broadcast me a joyful noise
un[Am]to the times, Lo[F]rd
Count your [G]blessings
The papers wouldn't [Am]lie! [F]I sigh
Not [Em]one more
[G]It's been a

[Chorus 1]

[G]Please don't [Dm]take a picture
It's been a [C]bad day
[G]Please[Dm]
It's been a [C]bad day
[G]Please don't [Dm]take a picture
It's been a [C]bad day
[G]Please[Dm]

[Verse 3]
We're [C]dug in deep, the [G]price is steep
The [F]auctioneer is such a creep
The [C]lights went out, the [G]oil ran dry
We [Dm]blamed it on the other guy
[C]Sure, all men are [G]created equal
[F]Here's the church, here's the steeple
[C]"Please stay tuned we [G]cut to sequel"
[Dm]Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

[Pre-chorus 3]
[G]Broadcast me a joyful noise
un[Am]to the times, Lo[F]rd
Count your [G]blessings
Ignore the lower [Am]fears
[F]Oh, this means [Em]war
[G]It's been a bad

[Chorus 2]
[C]day
[G]Please don't [Dm]take a picture
It's been a [C]bad day
[G]Please[Dm]
It's been a [C]bad day
[G]Please don't [Dm]take a picture
It's been a [C]bad day
[G]Please[Dm][C]
