G5     D5              E5  C5 
I got me a brand new car waiting in the driveway
G5       D5                 E5          C5                    G5
Shinin? like a bright new star I been wishin? on it everyday
             E5      C5
To take me away from here
G5           D5             E5   C5
So I called in to where I work told a little white lie
G5     D5                 E5       C5             G5
No my back don?t really hurt but that?s my alibi
             E5                     C5
My temporary ticket to anywhere but there
E5                       C5
Call it an early weekend call it goin? off the deep end
D5
Call it what you want I made up my mind?

(chorus)

G5                  D5
I don?t have to be me till Monday
E5        C5
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
G5             D5         C5
I ain?t gonna face reality
G5                  D5
Three days without punching a time clock
E5              C5
Three nights of goin? non stop
G5  D5            C5
No work and all play
                  D5             G5
I don?t have to be me, till Monday


      G5     D5               E5  C5
Yeah, I can do what I wanna do, be who I wanna be
G5        D5             E5    C5                   G5
I got no one to answer to as soon as I turn the key
       D5             E5                  C5
A cash machine, gasoline and we?re outta here
E5                       C5
Call it an early weekend call it goin? off the deep end
D5
Baby you and me we can leave it all behind?

(repeat chorus)


(outro)

    G5                  D5
Oh??Three days without punching a time clock
E5              C5
Three nights of goin? non stop
G5  D5            C5
No work and all play
                   D5
I don?t have to be me, till Monday


G5                  D5            E5  C5
I don?t have to be me, till Monday
G5                  D5            E5  C5
I don?t have to be me, till Monday
G5                  D5  E5
I don?t have to be me, till Monday
