I started playing guitar in the Summer of 1994. I believe I wrote this song (my first) in October of that year. I'm quite surprised to find that 12-year-old me was a better songwriter than half the grunge bands of the era (I'm looking at you, Gin Blossoms).

[F#] Sitting quiet [C#] ly in my room [A] Passing hours [B] playing guitar
[F#] Writing lrics [C#] soon forgotten [A] as the hours pro [B] gress

[F#] Saturday [A] boredom like [G#] old Levi [G] athan
Its [F#] suffo [A] cating my [G#] will to sur [B] vive
Will [F#] someone re [A] move it I [G#] can not [G] move it
Put [F#] hook in its [A] mouth or run [G#] line round its [B] tounge
verse 2
Phone has remained dead for hours, no one ever cares to call me
Trapped inside this hellish prison wiht nowhere to go
Lock the door and toss the key I’m trapped here for eternity
Destined to become a meal for the leviathan
refrain
Saturday Boredom like old Leviathan
My guitar remains my true companion
Angel don’t leave me, I just want you to be
The one who will help me survive Saturday
