Best Day Of My Life
Tom Odell

Key of Bb, no capo
Transcribed more with the piano in mind, though could be made easier for guitar either by using capo 3 and
transposing the chords -3 or by tuning the guitar down a tone (DACFAD) and transposing the chords +2.

(Gm9 chord is more like a Gm7(add2), but UG was having issues highlighting that chord. On piano the chord is
built A Bb F over a G base.
The Bbmaj7/F chord is functionally more like a Dm(add b6)/F but UG wouldn't highlight that either, though 
they both sound identical.
Hope that helps!)

Saw a billboard, it said something like

Everything, everything is gonna be alright

My girlfriend looked worried and asked me why
                          Gm9                  Bbmaj7/F   Ebadd2/G
But I don't know, I don't know, so I didn't reply

Post-Chorus
            Bb   Gm9        Bbmaj7/F
Laying on a car, you've got stars

Last night all I wanted to do was die
               Gm9            Bbmaj7/F     Ebadd2/G
Right now, I'm happy to be alive
