Intro
I was [F]tired of my [Am][G][F]lady,[Dm]
We'd been [C]together too [G][Dm7]long[Gm][C]
Like a [F]worn out [Am][G][F]recording[Dm]
Of a [C]favourite [Em7][F]song[Gm][C]
So while she [F]lay there [Am][G][F]sleepin'[Dm]
I read the [C]paper in [G][Dm7]bed[Gm][C]
And in the [F]personal [Am][G][F]columns[Dm]
There was this [C]letter I [Em7][F]read.[C]
If you like [F]Pina [Am][G][F]Colada[Dm]
And gettin' [C]caught in the [G][Dm7]rain[Gm][C]
If you're[F] not into [Am][G]yoga[Dm][F]
If you [C]have half a [Em7][F][C]brain[Gm]
If you [F]like makin' love [Am]at [G][F]midnight[Dm]
in the [C]dunes of [G]the [Dm7][C]cape[Gm]
I'm the [F]lady you've [Am]looked[G] [F]for[Dm]
Write to [C]me & [Em7][F]escape![C]

Hook
I didn't [F]think about my [Am][G]lady,[Dm][F]
I know that [C]sounds [G]kind[Dm7] of [C]mean[Gm]
But me and [F]my old [Am][G]lady[Dm][F]
Had fallen [C]into the [Em7]same [F]old [C]dull [Gm]routine
So I [F]wrote to the [Am][G]paper[Dm][F]
Took out a [C]personal [G][Dm7]ad[Gm][C]
And though I'm [F]nobody's [Am][G]poet[Dm][F]
I thought it [C]wasn't half [Em7][F]bad[C]
Yes, I like [F]Pina [Am][G]Coladas,[Dm][F]
And getting [C]caught in the [G][Dm7]rain[Gm][C]
I'm not [F]much into [Am][G]health [F][Dm]food,
I am [C]into [Em7][F]Champagne[Gm][C]
I've got to [F]meet you by [Am][G]tomorrow [F]noon[Dm]
And cut thru [C]all this red [G][Dm7]tape[Gm][C]
At a [F]bar called [Am][G][F]O'Malley's[Dm]
Where we'll [C]plan our [Em7][F]escape[C]
[F] [Am] [G] [F] [Dm] [C] [G] [Dm7] [C] [Gm]

Hook
So I [F]waited with [Am]high [G][F]hopes,[Dm]
Yhen she [C]walked in the [G][Dm7][C]place.[Gm]
I knew her [F]smile in an [Am][G][F]instant,[Dm]
I knew the [C]curve of [Em7]her [F][C]face.[Gm]
It was my [F]own lovely[Am] [G][F]lady,[Dm]
And she [C]said, [G]"Oh, [Dm7]it's [C][Gm]you!"
And we [F]laughed for a [Am][G][F]moment,[Dm]
And [C]I said, [Em7]"I [F]never [C]knew,
That you liked [F]Pina [Am][G][F]Coladas[Dm]
And getting [C]caught in the [G][Dm7][C]rain.[Gm]
And the [F]feel of [Am]the [G][F]ocean,[Dm]
And the [C]taste of [Em7][F][C]Champagne.[Gm]
If you like [F]makin' love at [Am][G][F]midnight,[Dm]
In the [C]dunes of the [G][Dm7][C]cape,[Gm]
You're the [F]love [Am]t[Dm][F][G]
If you like [F]Pina [Am]Colada[G] [F][Dm]
And gettin' [C]caught in the [G]rain [Dm7][Gm][C]
The [F]feel of the [Am][G]ocean, [F] [Dm]
And the [C]taste of [Em7][F]Champagne, [C][Gm]
If you like [F]makin' love at [Am][G][F]midnight, [Dm]
In the [C]dunes of the [G][Dm7]cape, [C] [Gm]
You're the [F]love that I've [Am][G]looked [F][Dm]for,
Come with [C]me and [Em7][F]escape." [C]
