Startin' Monday I'm cleaning the slate

I'm gonna quit smoking, start losing some weight

Tell someone I'm sorry
        E        B     F#
Oh it's gonna be great

I'll be cheatin' the fate

            E
I know I've said it before but this time I'm determined
   B
to be what I know I can be

to change my own destiny

Reversing the engine, rewinding the tape

[Bridge]

          E
I'm well aware of the fact I've got only a weekend
   B
To get all my ducks in a row
        E
I'll be working real hard to get out of my system
    F#
The few wild oats left to sow

Recycle, stay sober, choose love over hate

Fix all my mistakes
