[D] I'll [A] burn my [G] eyes out
[D] Before [A] I [B] get out

[E] I [G] wanted [B] more
[E] Than [G] life could [B] ever grant me
[E] Bored [G] by the [B] chore
[E] of [G] saving [F#] face [C#]

[D] Today [A] is the [G} greatest day I've ever known
[D] Can't [A] live for [G] tomorrow, I might not have that long
[D] I'll [A] tear my [G] heart out
[D] Before [A] I [B] get out

[E] Pink [G] ribbon [D] scars that [A] never forget
[E] I've [G] tried so [D] hard to [A] cleanse these regrets
[E] My [G] angel [D] wings were [A] bruised and restrained
[E] My [G] belly [F#] stings [C#]

[D] Today [A] is
[D] Today [G] is
[D] Today [A] is
[D] The [G] greatest
[D] Day hee [A] yay, [B] oo oo [G] ooo ooo [D] oooh ew [A] oh oh [B] oh [B]

[E] I want to [G] turn you [B] on
[E] I want to [G] turn you [B] on
[E] I want to [G] turn you [B] on
[E] I want to [G] turn you

[D] Today [A] is the [B] greatest [G]
[D] Today [A] is the [B] greatest [G] day
[D] Today [A] is the [B] greatest [G] day

You play a different B then what you have typed. You have fingers on the fourth fret when you say that you play B as 0 3 2 0 2 x.

[jasonvincent027]

@whpriol1 - yes - but that B* that I am talking about there is in the intro (where I am finger picking the melody)
