A
She maybe young be she only likes old things,
and modern music and it ain't to her taste
  D            F#m     A      D           F#m
She loves the natural light, captured in black
      A
and white

She sees mirages of mountain ranges
Within the blink of her eyes, it changes
Back to the open plain
Oh no, she can't explain

I cry out "Love keep your arms around me"
I am a bird that's in need of grounding
I'm built to fly away, I
Never learned how to stay

Chorus:
     D
And night is gonna fall and
                             A
the vultures will surround you
               D
And when your looking in the mirror
                               A
what you see is gonna astound you
    D
But all these lines and grays refine,
     F#m
they are the maps of our design
     D                        A
Of what began on a Monday morning

A
Monday morning
Monday morning
D F#m A
Oh
D F#m A
Oh

Chorus:
The night is gonna fall
And the vultures will surround you
And when you're looking in the mirror
What you see is gonna astound you
But all these lines and greys refine
They are the maps of our design
Of what began on a Monday morning

Oh yes, the night is gonna fall
And the vultures will surround you
And when you're looking in the mirror
What you see is gonna astound you
And while the glow of youth in time eludes
It's burning on inside of you
It all began on a Monday morning

Monday morning
Monday morning
