Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
   Drag  myself from my bed
   Around  20 past 6
Get  my kids  up make breakfast
1  egg 2 toast  3 weetabix
and  as i sit  down i look up
and  your standing in the doorway  sun at your back
 in my old  brown dressing gown
 Well no one can love  you more  than i love you now, but i
Gotta go  running for the bus
Coat  flying and i try not to miss it this  time
but  the drivers waiting  and thats strange
kids  on the top deck quiet  for a change
and  theres no rain and  no roadworks in the
bus  lane and all  my hurts run  away
 and im smiling  as im punching in
the  day i  died was the best day  of my life
the  day i died  was the best day  of my life
tell  my friends and my  kids and my wife
everything  will  be alright
the  day i died  was the best day of  my life
 (Verse 2 + 3) Same as First Verse
 now the secretaries they got a smile for me
 and the intray on my desks almost empty
 I get a memo from executive joe
 saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out
 for embezzling funds from the company account
 and id be lying if i said i wasnt chuffed
 cos i always hated rob
 and now they'll probbaly offer me robs old job
 and in the park at lunch
 theres no whinos on my favourite bench
 none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
 and the 20 little piegeons with the gammy leg
 decide to dine from someone elses sandwich instead
 and theres something about the city today
 like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey
 and this close to the fire i can feel no cold
 but a rainbow halo around my soul
 Chorus 2 same as 1
 the day i died was the best day of my life
 the day i died was the best day of my life
 tell my friends and my kids and my wife
 everything will be alright
 the day i died was the best day of my life
 so i leave  work get to the high  street and i miss my bus
 should i wait  for another no i cant  be arsed
 i begin to  walk
 and rush hour crowd  seem to part like the red  sea
 and im stopping at the offy
 20  cigerettes and a 6 pack to relax me
and  as i cross back over the street
i  guess i never saw that taxi
 (Instrumental) Same Chords as Bridge :)
the  day i died  was the best day  of my life
the  day i died  was the best day  of my life
tell  my friends and my kids  and my wife
everything  will be  alright
the  day i died  was the best  day of my life
now  i got 99 red  ballons floating  in the summer sky
i  got 99 red ballons  drifiting  past my dreamy eyes
i  got 99 red ballons  floating  in the summer sky
i  got 99 red ballons  drfting  past my dying eyes
