_ _ So, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, weekend is the weekend and it's sunny in the park.
I'll stay here with my [C] beer and fish and chips till the gas starts.
I got a lot of homework, my homework, you can't wait.
I never stop my homework till it's already too late.
My parents say, [Cm] think about your [C] future and my [C] teachers say the same.
But it's hard when there's a basketball game at the park.
It's 1998 and _ everybody's saying,

_ _ _ _ _ _ It's Monday, bloody Monday, and there's two things I forgot.
I forgot to do my [C] homework and I only got one.
So, I'm halfway through a test, but I just can't concentrate.
[Cm] While sitting next to Fontaine, I wanna ask her on a date.
I really wanna start a conversation, but it's time she was fast.
I start [C] choking on my pencil and put blood on my eyes.
I need to concentrate.
If I don't [Cm] get this grade, then I'm not proud to be a lawyer someday.
[G] But just right now, I think of anything that I can [F] do.
I just sit down at the piano and I write this tune.
[Eb] And maybe later, maybe later in the afternoon,
[F] I sit back down and bounce and think of all the things I'm [Eb] gonna do.

He said, Harry, [C] life is great.
I feel so happy these days.
I'm a litigation lawyer, so I can't admit.
I'm throwing out with Fontaine.
Remember her from 10th grade.
I drive a [Cm] Porsche so I can't complain.
[C] Shit!
[G] And look at me, can't think of anything.
