                    D#
It's just another Monday
                  A# 
I'm just another face in a face-less crowd
               Cm
I'm going down one-way
                    G#
Caught up in the machine, and I'm spit right out,
                 D#
I'm living in a rat race
                    A#
I'm looking for my soul in the lost-and-found

     G#
I'm sitting in the same spot
  A#
Counting every tic, toc
 Cm
Gotta hit the punch clock
 D#
When's it gonna stop-stop?
  G#
Another day in black and white

Chorus:
Cm                      A#
One, two, three, four, five
         D#                G#
Another week goes by, I'm half alive
     Cm                A#              G#
I'm getting sick, I'm faking this, I'm over it
             Cm                  A#
Don't wanna wear those suit and tie
       Fm7           G#
Gotta live before I die
        G#
So I'm done, done, done
          A#
With this ordinary life

What happened to the someday?
What happened to the dreams of the wide-eyed kid?
Don't tell me that it's too late
Don't tell me that I can't cause you never did

I'm sitting in the same spot
Counting every tic, toc
Gotta hit the punch clock
When's it going to stop-stop?
Another day in black and white
I gotta quit this ordinary life

Chorus

D#             Fm
I don't wanna wake up,
  D#          G#
with my best years behind me
D#             Fm
I don't wanna wake up,
  D#          G#
with my best years behind me
D#             Fm
I don't wanna wake up,
  D#          G#
with my best years behind me
D#               Fm
I think I better wake up,
  D#       G#
before my life's behind me

Chorus:
One, two, three, four, five
Another week goes by
I'm half alive
I'm getting sick
I'm faking this
I'm over it
Don't wanna wear no suit and tie
I gotta live before I die
So I'm done, done, done
With this ordinary life

One, two, three, four, five
No more ordinary life
One, two, three, four, five
I gotta wake up, wake up
One, two, three, four, five
No more ordinary life
I'm done, done, done with this ordinary
This whole thing is temporary
Done, done, done with this ordinary life
