D2 E7(4x)





-Verse 1-

  D2                       E7

I think this place is swell,

        D2                E7

There's much familiar here.

  D2                 E7

I get my laundry done

    D2                     E7

And I get home-cooked meals.

    D2                    E7

And when I'm feeling tired,

      D2                     E7

I can turn off all the lights,

  D2                  E7

Ignore the knocking on the door,

   D2                E7

Pretend I'm not alive.







-Chorus-

    Fmaj7        G

But, Daddy, it's Saturday,

    D2        E7       D2     E7

And I don't want to go outside

Fmaj7            G

And mow the grass today.

    D2            E7      D2      E7

So, would you love me just as much

         D2           E7     D2

If I was just your stupid kid

E7  D2            E7      D2      E7

So, would you love me just as much

         D2           E7     D2 E7

If I was just your stupid kid





D2 E7(2x)





-Verse 2-

They tell me that I'm bright

Sometimes I think they're right

But I guess I'll never know

'Cause I won't go outside

Some days it's just so hot

And others it's so cold

Too much exposure to the sun

Would just make me look old





-Chorus-

    Fmaj7        G

But, Daddy, it's Saturday,

    D2        E7       D2     E7

And I don't want to go outside

Fmaj7            G

And mow the grass today.

    D2            E7      D2      E7

So, would you love me just as much

         D2           E7     D2

If I was just your stupid kid

E7  D2            E7      D2      E7

So, would you love me just as much

         D2           E7     D2 E7

If I was just your stupid kid





D2 E7(2x)





-Bridge-

Fmaj7       G

Well, isn't this Saturday?

Fmaj7        G

It sure feels like Saturday.

Fmaj7       G

So, wake me Saturday.

Fmaj7       G

Daddy, it's Saturday.





-Verse 3-

    D2                 E7

And my mind wanders off

   D2                    E7

To things I've never seen,

    D2                         E7       D2         E7

Are these walls higher than the cost of opportunity?

    D2                E7

I'm too big for my bed,

    D2                    E7

And I've outgrown my shoes.

D2                    E7

But my fear of leaving

           D2                     E7

Is the one thing I just can't lose.





-Chorus-

Fmaj7        G

Daddy, it's Saturday,

    D2        E7       D2     E7

And I don't want to go outside

Fmaj7            G

And mow the grass today.

    D2            E7      D2      E7

So, would you love me just as much

Fmaj7      G

If I never got a job

    D2     E7      D2         E7

And if I never left your house?

Fmaj7         G

Would I be of use to you

D2      E7  D2         E7

If I never amounted to much more

     D2        E7         D2 E7

Than just your stupid kid?

    D2          E7      D2      E7

So, would I love me just as much

         D2           E7     D2

If I was just your stupid kid?
