[Em]Well[G] you[Em]'ve

So you [G]gave it [F#m]up to [Em]Je sus
But he's [G]dragging [F#m]you to he[Em]ll

So you [G]take the [F#m]children [Em]to the mall
And [G]send them [F#m]on their [Em]way
You can [G]say your cash is [Em]fleeting
But you [G]know you're [F#m]gonna [Em]pay
When [G]they get [F#m]home they t[Em]urn around
They're [G]off to see their [Em]friends
And they'll [G]smoke some pot
And [Em]god knows what,
[F#m]un til the party end[Em]s
The [G]wife is at the [Em]salon
Getting [G]pretty for [F#m]her ma[Em]n
[G]But her tits [F#m]are fake, and [Em]so's her tan
Her [G]hips are [F#m]taking [Em]all the care
You [G]see her [F#m]body i[Em]n your bed
And [G]still the [F#m]voices [Em]in your head
You [G]went to [F#m]see your [Em]therapist
And [G]this is [F#m]all he [Em]said:[Am]

[Em]
The [G]weekend [F#m]comes You

[Verse 5]
[Em]
grab your clubs
[G]You're off to [F#m]play the l[Em]inks
So [G]now's your chance to [Em]be yourself
With [G]friends and [F#m]cars and d[Em]rinks
When [G]you get [F#m]home, you're [Em]all alone
The [G]wife and kids are [Em]gone
Where [G]you can get some [Em]thinking done
In a [G]si lent [F#m]peaceful [Em]home
[G]But on the [F#m]kitchen [Em]table
There's a [G]note from [F#m]her that [Em]reads
"You're [G]never [F#m]home, I'm [Em]so alone
I'm [G]taking [F#m]everything"[Em]
You [G]start to [F#]tremble [Em]then
the tears
[G]You haven't [F#m]felt a[Em]live in years
You [G]think your [F#m]life i[Em]s over
But it's [G]really starting here
