my version of the song in acoustic . i like to use the capo on the 2nd fret ( easier on my
voice ) but you can play this in standard tuning without a capo if you so wish .

chords are :
G
Em
C
Am
D

G
it’s monday morning

and i would kill for a chance to drive
Em
get so far away from here with you my dear

that i’ll never leave your side
C
nobody knows the troubles i’ve seen
G D
in a van , on a soapbox for the world to see

[ chorus ]
C Am G
miles away , and i wish this didn’t mean so much to me
D
to be a monument for the rest of them
C Am G
miles away , and i wish this didn’t mean so much to me
D
to be a monument for the rest of them

C
we’re getting older
Am
i’ve started to fear for my life
G
is this the way that it should be?
D
this whole thing’s riding on me
C
it’s been a long road so far
Am
with nowhere to turn
G
there’s no looking back from here
D
no more dwelling on my fears

[ chorus ]

C
twenty bucks says you’ll remember me
Am
when you see me on your tv screen
G
it may be the first time
D
but it won’t be the last time

[ x3 ]

C
and i’ll scream
Am
so loud that everyone in this place
G
will hear every word i say
D
’cause this is my time , this is my time to shine

let nothing stand in our way

[ x2 ]

C
twenty bucks says you’ll remember me
Am
when you see me on your tv screen
G
it may be the first time
D
but it won’t be the last time
