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

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

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