              Verse 
 
        C 
I was living my life like a long lost weekend 
  G 
Never felt nothing, jumping right into the deep end 
   Am 
I wasn't missing nothing that was ever worth getting 
  F 
Never hung around enough to regret it 
      C 
He walked into the late bar just in time 
     G 
To hand me my excuses with a chance in rhyme 
  Am 
Shoes and attitude were stacked way up high 
   F                                        ( G )(one strum)  
I knew right then you were the story of my life 
 
 
      C 
Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning 
  G 
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning 
   Am 
I think I might have pushed my luck a time or two 
   F 
Everything about us is what gets me through 
 C 
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing 
 G 
I never learned the song was hard for singing 
 Am 
No regrets, I took the step and I'm still falling 
  F 
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah 
 
 
Verse  
 
   C 
Driving down a street that's only going one way 
  G 
Every day starts feeling like a month of Mondays 
  Am 
Guess you know, I still got something left to prove 
   F 
I know what it takes to get back to you 
 
 
     C 
Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning 
  G 
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning 
   Am 
I think I might have pushed my luck a time or two 
 F 
Everything about us is what gets me through 
 C 
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing 
 G 
I never learned the song was hard for singing 
 Am 
No regrets, I took the step and I'm still falling 
  F                                       G 
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah 
  
Bridge  
 
F                              G 
Remember those nights staring out at 
                 Am                        F      
The last broken town without feeling the same 
  F                       G            
Making up words to our favorite songs 
          Am                             F 
Laughing loud with those drinks in our hands 
 
            Em                        Am           
And as that boy put his head on her shoulder 
                Em                   Am             
She pulled him tight to get a bit closer 
             F                                        
And as the world just disappeared 
       G                                
You whispered in my ear 
 
 
     C 
Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning 
  G 
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning 
   Am 
I think I might have pushed my luck a time or two 
   F 
Everything about us is what gets me through 
 C 
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing 
 G 
I never learned the song was hard for singing 
 Am 
No regrets, I took the step and I'm still falling 
  F 
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah
