 C#
Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
       G#
I said how long
Say how long
       C#
It was one dull morning
I woke the world with bawling
      G#
I was so sad (so sad)
They were so glad

Chorus:
F#                          D#
I was on the feeling it was out of control
F#                      D#
I had the opinion it was out of control

 C#
Boys and girls go to school
                      G#
And girls they make children
Not like this one

Chorus - x2

I fought fate
There's blood at the garden gate
The man said childhood
It's in his childhood

One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late?
You can't fight fate

Chorus
