Every day is Monday

(That is what I've heard about the real world)
C               G  F
Up in the morning

Seems so far away the real world

Up to the bigger school, trying not to be fool
Here I am, new shoes and cagoule
Look, I'm getting closer to the real world
(Tell me where the girls are)
Thinking about happiness
Thinking about Tara
Thinking about sorrow
Thinking about Sara
Sara and sorrow are the very same word

In my young life, I get so hurt
Will I make it in the real world?

Swooping down the city street, heading for the clock
