Monday Afternoon chords by Lori McKenna

Intro: G

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
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 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           D
And I'm telling you
     C           D
I am telling you
     C
I am telling you
  D                   G
I wish I was a better person
         Em
A better person
         G
A better person
         Em     C D G
A better person
