F#         E                  F#
All of my life I've tried so hard
         C#m               D
Doing my best with what I had
              C#m              D  G#
Nothing much happened all the same
F#          E              F#
Something about me stood apart
              C#m                 D
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
          C#m                  G#
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
          B            F#
Breaking my life in two

Chorus:
F#         C#m
Throw me tomorrow
B              G#m          F#
Now that I've really got a chance
           C#
Throw me tomorrow
A#            G#           F#
Everything's falling into place
           C#m
Throw me tomorrow
B         G#m            F#
Seeing my past to let it go
           C#
Throw me tomorrow
A#       D#m    C#       B
Only for you I don't regret
            F#
That I was Thursday's child

D#m7     C#       B                  F#
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
D#m7     C#       B                  F#
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was

Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet
Lucky old sun is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms

Chorus

D#m7     C#       B
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born
        F#
I was Thursday's Child
D#m7     C#       B
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born
        F#
I was Thursday's Child
D#m7     C#       B                  F#
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
D#m7     C#       B                  F#
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
D#m7     C#       B                  D#m7 C# B
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
D#m7     C#       B
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
