This is the chord progression of Worst Day Of My Life by Alec Benjamin on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Am C
Well my manager rang he said I hate to break the news
G6 Em
But the label called today they said they have to cut you loose
Am C
I felt broken like a vase that’d fallen from the roof
G6 Em
Tears rolling down my face lord what am I to do

[Chorus]
Am C
I felt pain in my life so far
G6 Em
A fractured wrist and a broken heart
Am C G6 Em
But this is sure to leave a nasty scar, one that might not heal

So I said
Am C
This is the worst day of my life
G6 Em
It’s the worst, it’s the worst day of my life
Am C
And I don’t know how I’ll survive
G6 Em
It’s the worst, it’s the worst day of my life
Am C
I’ll admit it’s a struggle
G6 Em
Finding light in the tunnel
Am C
This is the worst day of my life
G6 Em
It’s the worst it’s the worst day
Of my life

[Verse 2]
Am C
Well I gave up my degree and I moved away from home
G6 Em
I was following my dream now there’s nowhere I can go
Am C
So I called up my mom and I was bawling on the phone
G6 Em
I was acting like a child but I was all the way grown

[Chorus]
Am C
I felt pain in my life so far
G6 Em
A fractured wrist and a broken heart
Am C G6 Em
But this is sure to leave a nasty scar, one that might not heal
So I said
Am C
This is the worst day of my life
G6 Em
It’s the worst, it’s the worst day of my life
Am C
And I don’t know how I’ll survive
G6 Em
It’s the worst, it’s the worst day of my life
Am C
I’ll admit it’s a struggle
G6 Em
Finding light in the tunnel
Am C
This is the worst day of my life
G6 Em
It’s the worst it’s the worst day
Of my life

[Verse 3]
Am C
So I thought to myself that now is time to choose
G6 Em
I can pick myself up or I can give in to the blues
Am C
So I swore in my heart that I was never gonna lose
G6 Em
I would crawl until I made it cause I got something to prove

How to play Worst Day Of My Life: key, chords and progression

Worst Day Of My Life by Alec Benjamin is centred on A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: Am, C, G6 and Em.

Listen for Am – C – G6 – Em (i – III – VII6 – v in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, G6 needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
