[G]
[Em]
I want to thank Emily Uvis for inviting us to play a glass for her.
And [C]
[D] I hope her dad realizes why she booked [G] us now.
I'm sure he does.
[N] I think he was a bit worried we weren't going to be as good as Keane or something like that.
God bless the Keane though, I don't care.
Love and peace to all bands.
It's [G] a struggle, life's a [N] struggle.
A Monday morning may be a struggle for a lot of you in a job that you despise.
Working for a boss that you despise.
[F#] A slave to money then we [D] die.
God bless y'all.
