(Intro)
[(G)]
[G]It's Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again
And I [Em]know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend
But the [G]Lord and I don't get along so very good
He doesn't [Em]speak a word out to me
Like you promised that he would
And I'm [C]telling you
I [D]wish I was a better [G]person
[G]When the clouds roll in and the sky promises rain
You just ac [Em]cept the way she is and you don't even complain
Though you [G]wish that it was sunny and the sky would stay blue
You don't ac [Em]cept a thing about me
And wish that I was just like you
But I'm [C]telling you
I [D]wish I was a better [G]person
[C]I don't want to [G]work at it
[C]It should come natural [G]ly
[C]It shouldn't be so [G]difficult
Should be [D]more like honey to the bee
Well the [G]bee has his sting and the sky has her rain
And I have [Em]all of my things that I shouldn't do over again
But if I [G]just say the words and I look you in the eye
That I am [Em]promising you, I promise
I [C]wish I was [D]a better [G]person
[C]I don't want to [G]work at it
[C]It should come natural [G]ly
[C]It shouldn't be so [G]difficult
Should be [D]more like honey to the bee
Well it's [G]Monday afternoon and I'm drinking again
And I [Em]know I promised you that the Lord would be my friend
But the [G]Lord and I don't get along so very good
He doesn't [Em]speak a word out to me
Like you promised that he would
And I'm [C]telling you[D]
I am [C]telling you[D]
I am [C]telling you
I [D]wish I was a better [G]person
A better [Em]person
A better [G]person
A better [Em]person [C] [D] [G]
