_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ [D#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [E] _ [B] The silicon chair [D#m] beside her head gets [E] switched to [F#] overload.
_ _ _ [B] Nobody's gonna go [D#m] to school today, she's gonna [E] make them stay [F#] at home.
[E] And daddy doesn't understand that, he always [B] said she was good [E] as gold.
And he can see no reasons, cause there are no reasons,
What reason do you need to [F#] be sure? _
_ _ _ Tell [B] me why I don't [F#] like Monday,
[E] Tell me why I don't [F#] like Monday,
Tell [B] me why I don't like [F#] Monday,
Cause I wanna [E] shoot, _ _ _ _ ooooh, [F#] _ _ _
_ the [B] whole day down. _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [E] _ [B] The telex machine is [D#m] kept so clean, and the [E] types do a [F#] wasting whirl.
[B] A mother feels so shocked, [G#m] but this world [D#m] is rocked,
[E] And the thoughts turn to [F#] their own little girl.
[E] Sweet 16 ain't that peachy key, it [B] ain't so neat to admit defeat.
They can see no reasons, cause there are no reasons,
What _ reasons do you [F#] _ need? _
_ _ _ _ [B] Tell me why I don't [F#] like Monday,
[E] Tell me why I don't [F#] like Monday,
[B] Tell me why I don't like [F#] Monday,
Cause I wanna [E] shoot, _ _ _ ooooh, _ [F#] _ _ _

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And all the playin' stopped, in the playground [D#m] now.
She [E] wants to play [F#] with her toys a while, [B]
and school's out early.
And soon [D#m] we'll be learning, [E] but the lesson today [F#] is how to die. _
And _ then the bullhorn crackles, and [E] the captain tackles,
[B] With the problems, [D#m] and the [E] hows and whys.
_ And they can see no reasons, cause there are no reasons,
What reason do you [F#] need to die, die?
Oh, _ _ [B] and the silicon chip [F#] inside her head,
[G#m] Gets switched to overload.
[F#] _ Oh, [B] and nobody's gonna go to [A#m] school today,
She's gonna [E] make them stay [F#] at home.
_ [E] And daddy doesn't understand it,
He [B] always said [D#m] she was good as [E] gold.
_ And they can see no reasons, cause there are no reasons,
What reason do you need to be [F#] sure?
Oh, _ _ _ [B] tell me why I don't [F#] like Monday,
[E] Tell me why I don't [F#] like Monday,
[B] Tell me why I don't [F#] like, I don't [E] like,
I don't [F#] like _ _ [B] Monday's.
Tell me why I don't [F#] like, I don't like,
[E] _ I don't [F#] like _ Monday's.
[B] Tell me why I don't [F#] like _ Monday's.
I [E] want to shoot, _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The [B] whole day _ down.
