[Bm] [F#]

[Bm] [F#]
[Bm] [F#]
[Bm] [F#]
Monday morning wake [Bm] up knowing that you gotta [F#] go to school
Tell your mum what to [Bm] expect except Friday [F#] after school
Do you wanna work at [Bm] Debenhams?
Cause that's what [F#] they expect
Start in [G] laundering and Doris is your [D] supervisor
And [A] [G] [F#]
the head said that you [Bm] always were a queer one [F#] from the start
But career should [G] say you wanna be remembered [F#] for your art
Your obsession gets you [Bm] known throughout the school
Keep [F#] being strange, making lies like [G] models of the velvet underground [D] in clay
[A] [G] [F#] In the queue for lunch [Bm] they take the piss you got no [F#] appetite
And the [Bm] rumour is you never go with boys as you [F#] unhide
So they trap [Bm] you with a fork and drop the tray [F#] in Covid's heart
While you're cleaning [Bm] up the mess the [G] teacher's picking [D] up your scar
[A] Hey, you've [G] been used
[D] Are [A] you calm?
[G] Settle down
[D] Write [A] a song, I'll [G] sing along
Soon you will know [F#] that you are staying
[G] You're on top of the world [F#] again
[G] [F#]
[Bm] [F#]
[Bm] [F#]
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [F#]
Monday [Bm] morning wake up knowing that you gotta go to [F#] school
Tell your mum [Bm] what to expect she said it's right [F#] out of the blue
You wanna [Bm] work in CNA cause that's what [F#] they expect
Move to [G] lingerie and take a few locks you're the [D] stolen
[A] [G] [F#]
Tell Veronica [B] the secret [Bm] of the boy you [F#] never kissed
She's got everything [Bm] to gain cause she's a fat girl with [F#] a list
She sticks up for you [Bm] when you get aggravation from [F#] the snob
Cause you can't [B] afford a blazer [G] girl you're always [D] wearing
[A] [G] [F#] At the end of the [B] road you [Bm] locked yourself away [F#] inside a room
Head of English [B] gets you, asks you what the hell you [F#] think you're doing
You think you're better [B] than [Bm] the other kids, well get [F#] outside you've got permission
[B] You've got to [G] make their last dead [D] thing to cry
[A] Hey, [G] you've been used
[D] Write [A] a song, [G] I'll sing along
[D] Are [A] you calm?
[G] Settle down
Soon you will [F#] know that you are sane
[G] You're on top of the world [D] again
[A] I go to school [G] and you know
[D] You're [A] a star, [G] you go to the bar
[D]
[A] You're singing, reading, you're [G] just a friend
Not that the [F#] fourth grade gets hard
[G] You're on top of the world again
[N]
