 C       Am      C        Am
Monday, Friday, weekday, holiday, yeah
F                      G              C
Every single empty day, you're on my mind
      Dm      F      G   G7
Yeah, you are on my mind

Ireland, Germany, when I'm away, you I see
Every lonely place I go, you're on my mind
oh yeah, you're on my mind

Chorus:
Am                  E7 Am
I tried forgetting you,
                      E7
tried to maintain my cool
          Am          G#             G  G7
But the existence of you effects my life
   Am                    E7
If you would forget the past
    Am                     E7
And maybe someday take me back
         Am      G#        G
I'd rest easy in my bed tonight
     G7
You know I'd say now

Day time, night time, good times, bad times
When I was down and short of bread,
you're on my mind
oh yeah, you're on my mind

Chorus:
I tried forgetting you girl,
tried to maintain my cool
But your existence effects my life
Baby, if you would forget the past
And maybe take me back
I'd rest easy in my lonely bed tonight
You know I mean it

Monday, Friday, weekday, holiday, yeah
Every single empty day, you're on my mind
oh Yeah, you're on my mind
Oh yeah, you're on  my  mind
