Another downtown street is lain with bodies, young for thirty.
         C#
Feeling old.
            G#
I'm going home.

But I just want a drink away from home, a couple shots
           C#
an ear to bend
             G#
between weekends. 
         D#                         C#
Am I the only one without a nine to five
            G#
This Friday night?

There's way too many people here. Not even through the door
                C#
Hey, there's a fight
         G#
Amateur night

        D#                          C#
And the cigarette smokers form barricades.
            A#m                         C#  -  D# - G#
They need a fire marshal to get in the rave. Hey, hey.

F#                      C#
And tonight is nothing special.
B       F#               G#
I'm not wanting for this world to change.

C#              
Another downtown street is lain with minds too dumb for twenty.
        F#
All the same.
        C#
Smiling away.

G#                                      F#
Am I the only one who doesn't want a fight?
        D#m                              F#      G#
All my friends are weekends warriors but I'll be back.
        C#~
Monday night.
