Standard (EADGBE)
Hey, man I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
I'm feeling like a Monday
but someday I'll be Saturday night
Verse 1
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement, all the good sh**'s gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
Been sleeping in my car, my dreams move on
Verse 2
My name is Billy Jean, my love was bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life aint much better, but at least I get paid
Bridge
And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Chorus 1
Hey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey, Hey Man gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Verse 3
Now I can't say my name, or tell you where I am
I want to blow myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone elses soul, someone elses face
Chorus 2
Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey, Hey Man gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

It may not be tomorrow baby, that's Okay

Chorus 3
Hey man I'm alive I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey, Hey man, gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
