[Verse]
    B            D#m            
The silicon chip inside her head
E                F#      
Gets switched to overload
B                        D#m         
And nobody's gonna go to school today
               E              F#     
She's going to make them stay at home
    E             F#sus4       
And daddy doesn't understand it
          B                       E   
He always said she was as good as gold
           E            
And he can see no reason
             E             
'cause there are no reasons
     E                            
What reason do you need to be sure
F#               B  
Oh oh oh tell me why


[Chorus]
             D#m    
I don't like Mondays
        G#m
Tell me why
             F#7     B
I don't like Mondays ■
     B     
Tell me why
             A#m    
I don't like Mondays
          D#m  
I want to shoot
F# B                  D#m Emaj7
■  The whole day down ■   ■    


[Verse]
E     B                D#m          
■ The Telex machine is kept so clean
   E             F#           
As it types to a waiting world
F#sus4     B               
And mother feels so shocked
D#m                     
Father's world is rocked
          E                F#                   
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
E                        F#sus4     
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen
B                       E           
Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat
E                      
They can see no reasons
             E             
'cause there are no reasons
                   F#          
What reason do you need oh woah


[Chorus]
        B  
Tell me why
             D#m    
I don't like Mondays
        G#m
Tell me why
  E          F#     
I don't like Mondays
        B  
Tell me why
             D#m    
I don't like Mondays
          E    
I want to shoot
F#               D#m 
■  The whole day down
D#m      
Down down
             B   
Shoot it all down

[Verse]
        B                                      
All the playing's stopped in the playground now
    D#m                    F#          
She wants to play with her toys a while
    B                      D#m                   
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
        E               F#        
And the lesson today is how to die
E                             
And then the bullhorn crackles
                F#sus4 
And the captain tackles
B                                   E    
With the problems and the how's and why's
E                        
And he can see no reasons
             E             
'cause there are no reasons
                        F#        
What reason do you need to die die


[Chorus]
      B                       D#m            
Oh oh oh and the silicon chip inside her head
E                        
Gets switched to overload
    B                    D#m         
And nobody's gonna go to school today
               E                 F#  
She's going to make them stay at home
    E             F#sus4       
And daddy doesn't understand it
   B                              E   
He always said she was as good as gold
E                       
And he can see no reason
             E             
'cause there are no reasons
                              F#  
What reason do you need to be sure
        B  
Tell me why
             D#m    
I don't like Mondays
        E  
Tell me why
             F#     
I don't like Mondays
        B  
Tell me why
                          E            F#     
I don't like I don't like I don't like Mondays
        B  
Tell me why
             D#m          E            F#     
I don't like I don't like I don't like Mondays
        B  
Tell me why
             D#m    
I don't like Mondays
