Intro: G 

G 
It's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again 
      Em 
And I know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend 
        G 
But the Lord and I don't get along so very good 
           Em 
He doesn't speak a word out to me 
Like you promised that he would 
        C 
And I'm telling you 
  D                   G 
I wish I was a better person 

G 
When the clouds roll in and the sky promises rain 
            Em 
You just ac cept the way she is and you don't even complain 
           G 
Though you wish that it was sunny and the sky would stay blue 
             Em 
You don't ac cept a thing about me 
And wish that I was just like you 
        C 
But I'm telling you 
  D                   G 
I wish I was a better person 

C               G 
I don't want to work at it 
C                      G 
It should come natural ly 
C                  G 
It shouldn't be so difficult 
          D 
Should be more like honey to the bee 

         G 
Well the bee has his sting and the sky has her rain 
           Em 
And I have all of my things that I shouldn't do over again 
         G 
But if I just say the words and I look you in the eye 
          Em 
That I am promising you, I promise 
  C          D        G 
I wish I was a better person 

C               G 
I don't want to work at it 
C                      G 
It should come natural ly 
C                  G 
It shouldn't be so difficult 
          D 
Should be more like honey to the bee 

          G 
Well it's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again 
      Em 
And I know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend 
        G 
But the Lord and I don't get along so very good 
           Em
