MONDAY AFTERNOON

Capo II
Intro: (G)

(G)It's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again
And I (Em)know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend

But the (G)Lord and I don't get along so very good

He doesn't (Em)speak a word out to me

Like you promised that he would 

And I'm (C)telling you
I (D)wish I was a better (G)person

(G)When the clouds roll in and the sky promises rain

You just ac(Em)cept the way she is and you don't even complain

Though you (G)wish that it was sunny and the sky would stay blue

You don't ac(Em)cept a thing about me

And wish that I was just like you

But I'm (C)telling you

I (D)wish I was a better (G)person

(C)I don't want to (G)work at it

(C)It should come natural(G)ly

(C)It shouldn't be so (G)difficult

Should be (D)more like honey to the bee

Well the (G)bee has his sting and the sky has her rain

And I have (Em)all of my things that I should do over again

But if I (G)just say the words and I look you in the eye

That I am (Em)promising you, I promise

I (C)wish I was (D)a better (G)person

(C)I don't want to (G)work at it

(C)It should come natural(G)ly

(C)It shouldn't be so (G)difficult

Should be (D)more like honey to the bee

Well it's (G)Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again

And I (Em)know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend

But the (G)Lord and I don't get along so very good

He doesn't (Em)speak a word out to me

Like you promised that he would 

And I'm (C)telling you (D)

I am (C)telling you (D)

I am (C)telling you

I (D)wish I was a better (G)person

A better (Em) person

A better (G) person

A better (Em)person (C)(D)(G)
