CLooking at the G7world around Cfor the very first G7time
CNever seen it G7all before, Chope it's not all G7mine
[Verse 1]
On CMonday morning G7all alone, I Cwoke within my Ghouse of stone
I Cventured forth G7unto the day, these Cthings I saw uGpon my way
CTrees and flowers were G7wrapped around with Cpeople's castoffs Gon the ground
CRoads and noise of G7glass and steel and Cpeople snared wiGthin the wheel
[Chorus]
FTuesday looked iCnto the sky, where Fbirds in peace were Cleft to fly
FThunder rolled and Clightning flashed, I G7watched the world as Cpeople dashed
[Verse 2]
CFriday's sadness G7began to creep, uCpon me like the Gdeepest sleep
It Cseemed that only G7I could see, just Cwhat my world would Gfinally be
On CSunday back inG7side my room, I Cdraw the blinds 'tis Gafternoon
I Clet my mind find G7its own ways, farCewell to Gfuture Cdays
