A
It must be Monday
What a dumb day
Can't drag my butt outta bed
Somebody stop me
I need another coffee
                   C#m
Like a hole in my head

     D     A/C#   B         A
When every day begins this way
                        E        A
Gets you down and can drive you mad
     D     A/C#       B         A
The daily grind can freak your mind
               E         A
But life isn't all that bad

Chorus:
Don't let it get to you
  D
C'est la vie
                                 A
That's life and that's how it's gonna be
  D
C'est la vie
                            A
Hold tight, it comes right eventually
   E
Oh oh

If only I could sleep in
And wake up on the weekend
Oh, what a dream that would be, yeah
But fat chance for that one
It ain't gonna happen
Better get back to reality

I could be a slob or keep my job
That is the choice we have
The daily grind can freak your mind
But life isn't all that bad

Chorus

Everybody's got to do it
Everybody's got to earn their way
Oh, come on now
You gotta work your own way through it
Everybody's got their dues to pay
 C#m
Hey, yeah

Oh, the daily grind can freak your mind
But life isn't all that bad

Chorus:
Don't let it get to you
C'est la vie
That's life and that's how it's gonna be
C'est la vie
Hold tight, it comes right eventually
Yeah, yeah, yeah
C'est la vie
That's life and that's how it's gonna be
Oh, come on, now
C'est la vie
Hold tight, it comes right eventually
Oh

Oh
C'est la vie
