Intro: G  D  Em  C (x2)

G     D              Em   C
I got me a brand new car, waiting in the driveway
G        D                Em            C                    G
Shinin’ like a bright new star, I been wishin’ on it everyday
    D        Em       C
To take me away from here
G           D              Em    C
So I called in to where I work, told a little white lie
G      D                 Em       C             G
No my back don’t really hurt but that’s my alibi
              D            Em         C
My temporary ticket to anywhere but there
Em                         C
Call it an early weekend, call it goin’ off the deep end
         D
Call it what you want I made up my mind


Chorus:

G                  D
I don’t have to be me til Monday
Em       C
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
G              D         C  D
I ain’t gonna face reality
G                   D
Three days without punching a time clock
Em              C
Three nights of goin’ non stop
G   D            C
No work and all play
                   D(one strum)    
I don’t have to be me, til Monday 


G  D  Em  C        
      yeah


G     D               Em  C              G
I can do what I wanna do, be who I wanna be
          D            Em      C                  G
I got no one to answer to, as soon as I turn the key
           D         Em                   C
A cash machine, gasoline and we’re outta here
Em                         C
Call it an early weekend, call it goin’ off the deep end
      D
Baby you and me we can leave it all behind


CHORUS

Em              C
Three nights of goin’ non stop
