G
It's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again
Em
And I know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend
G
But the Lord and I don't get along so very good
Em
He doesn't speak a word out to me
Like you promised that he would
C
And I'm telling you
D G
I wish I was a better person
G
When the clouds roll in and the sky promises rain
Em
You just ac cept the way she is and you don't even complain
G
Though you wish that it was sunny and the sky would stay blue
Em
You don't ac cept a thing about me
And wish that I was just like you
C
But I'm telling you
D G
I wish I was a better person
C G
I don't want to work at it
C G
It should come natural ly
C G
It shouldn't be so difficult
D
Should be more like honey to the bee
G
Well the bee has his sting and the sky has her rain
Em
And I have all of my things that I shouldn't do over again
G
But if I just say the words and I look you in the eye
Em
That I am promising you, I promise
C D G

Well it's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again
