MONDAY'S COMING
(Kitson/Kitson)

Transcribed by Phil Gardner

Dm-C-D-F-C-D

  G                                     Dm
I think it's time I shut the blinds and locked the bedroom door,
    C                        D                         G
And thank God they don't put bibles in hotel rooms any more,
                            Dm
You sit down on the bed and take your make up off,
    C                        D
You stare into the mirror, I light a cigarette and cough,
     C                      G          
It's funny how anticipation spurs these fantasies along,
     C                                          D
It's funny now you say the radio's playing your husband's favourite song,

         G       Dm                    C       D
Monday's coming, explanations, lies and smiles,
         G             Dm                    C          D   
Monday's coming, thank God we put a good few miles in between him and me,
C                    D
Monday's coming in between us you see.

  G                               Dm
I think desire just melts away as soon as it becomes,
C                                 D
More than snatching kisses in the back of cars of mutual chums,
    G                                Dm
Now you just sat down on the bed and said we ought to talk,
    C                        D
You stare into the mirror, I go out for a walk,
          C                                G
Well it's funny now it doesn't seem such a good idea no more,
     C                            D
It's funny but you're crying as I turn and close the door.

         G       Dm                    C       D
Monday's coming, explanations, lies and smiles,
         G             Dm                    C          D
Monday's coming, thank God we put a good few miles in between him and me,
C                    D
Monday's coming in between us you see.

  G                                     Dm
I think it's time I drew the blinds and locked the bedroom door,
C                                   D
Because you found that bible when I left it on the floor,
  G                            Dm
I walk down to reception and I give them back the key,
      C                             D
And I wonder why they're staring so strangely at me,
          C                      G
Well it's funny how anticipation spurs these fantasies along,
     C
It's funny now you say the radio's still playing,
     D
Your husband's favourite song.

         G         Dm                          C     D
Monday's coming, my love where have you been so long,
         G      Dm                  C     D
Monday's coming, Saturday and Sunday gone,
                 G       Dm                    C       D
Monday, Monday's coming, explanations, lies and smiles,
         G             Dm                    C          D
Monday's coming, thank God we put a good few miles in between him and me,
C                    D
Monday's coming in between us you see.
