VERSE ONE EB When I was younger I used to be wild C#m As wild as an elephant's child A No one could hold me down E No one could keep me around B Now it's your turn, take a shot C#m Baby show me everything that you got A Maybe you can keep me alive E Maybe you can get in my mind A But it's only a matter of time
CHORUS EB Before I run far away C#m I need to take a holiday A Maybe it's a fall from grace E I gotta find a new place B A holiday C#m I'll set off on a new chase A I gotta see a new face E I need to take a holiday
VERSE TWO EB My father, he was always wise C#m As wise as an elephant's eyes A He couldn't hold me down E He couldn't keep me around B So are you gonna take your shot? C#m It's the only one that you got A Maybe I'll go out on a limb E Maybe I'll jump in for a swim A When the lights go dim
CHORUS EB Before I run far away C#m I need to take a holiday A Maybe it's a fall from grace E I gotta find a new place B A holiday C#m I'll set off on a new chase A I gotta see a new face E I need to take a holiday
VERSE THREE EBC#mA Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa E A new start B I've broken too many hearts C#m And I don't have any clue where to go I don't know A But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday
EB When I was younger I used to be wild C#m As wild as an elephant's child A And I don't think I'll ever change E I think I'm gonna stay the same
CHORUS EB Before I run far away C#m I need to take a holiday A Maybe it's a fall from grace E I gotta find a new place B A holiday C#m I'll set off on a new chase A I gotta see a new face E I need to take a holiday
E A new start B I've broken too many hearts C#m And I don't have any clue where to go I don't know A But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday
E All of the wasted time A The hours that were left behind C#m answers that we'll never find A They don't mean a thing tonight
