"Monday morning

 Eighteen years of dawning
      AMaj
 I say how long

 You say how long

DMaj
 It was one dull morning

 Woke the world with bawling
      AMaj
 I was so sad (so sad)

 It was so bad

GMaj                       AMaj
 I was of a feeling it was out of control

           GMaj            AMaj
 I had the opinion it was out of control

   "Oh...way oh way oh way.....oh  way  oh..."

3rd VERSE(The same as the other ones):
"I fought fate
 There's blood on the garden gate
 The man said childhood
 It's in his childhood

 One day I'll die
 The choice will not be mine
 Will it be too late
 You can't fight it

 I was of a feeling it was out of control
 I had the opinion it was out of control

 Oh...way oh way oh way.....oh  way  oh..."
