G                      Am
Some people wake up on Monday mornings
G                      Am
Barring maelstroms and red flare warnings
G                      Am
With no explosions and no surprises
G                    Am
Perform a series of exercises

Hold your fire
G     Am         G             Am  G  Am  G  Am
Take your place around an open fire
 
 
[Chorus]
  G                   Am
Before your neurons declare a crisis
  G               Am
Before your trace Serotonin rises
  G                        Am
Before you're reading your coffee grounds
      G                   Am
And before a pundit could make a sound
      G                        Am
And before you're reading your list of vices
   G                  Am      N.C.
Perform the simplest exercises

So here we are at the end, the war is over
G
There's nothing left to defend, no cliffs of Dover
   Cmaj7                                               G
So let us put down our pens and this concludes our test
Cmaj7                                              G
Our minds are scattered about from hell to breakfast

Before you're reading your coffee grounds
      G                   Am
And before a pundit could make a sound
      G                        Am
And before you're reading your list of vices
   G                  Am       G  Am  G  Am
