(INTRO)
[E] [A] [E] [A]
(VERSE)
[E] Hey, my name is Jim, I fought in Vietnam
[A] My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
[E] I just can't hold a job. Where did I go wrong?
[A] I'm sleeping in my car; My dreams moved on
[E] My name is Billy Jean, my love is bought and sold
[A] I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
[E] My foster daddy went and took my innocence away
[A] The street life ain't much better but at least I'm getting paid
(BRIDGE)
[B] Tuesday just might go my way
[A] It can't get worse than [E] yesterday
[G#m] Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
[A] But somehow I'll [F#m7] survive
(Chorus)
[E] Hey, man, I'm alive
As [F#m] long as I can breathe, as [A] long as I can fight
[E] Hey man, I know I'll get [F#m] by[A]
[E] When I wanna die I pick [F#m] up all the pieces and what's [A] left of my pride
I'm [B] feeling like a Monday but I [A] wish I were a Saturday [E] night
(VERSE)
[E] I can't say my name, my life is on the line
[A] They say that I'm to blame, that I'm guilty of a crime
[E] I wish that I could be in another time and place
[A] With someone else's soul and someone else's face
(BRIDGE)
[B] This world ain't so cut and dry [A] but I can't 'why?' [E] wrong or right
[G#m] I ain't here to justify [A] what I gotta do to [F#m7] survive
(Chorus)
[E] Hey, man, I'm alive
As [F#m] long as I can breathe, as [A] long as I can fight
[E] Hey man, I know I'll get [F#m] by[A]
[E] When I wanna die I pick [F#m] up all the pieces and what's [A] left of my pride
I'm [B] feeling like a Monday but I [A] wish I were a Saturday [E] night
I'm [B] feeling like a Monday but [A] someday I'll be Saturday [E] night[C#m] [E] [C#m]
