[Intro]
C Am G
[Verse 1]
C
Wake up in the mornin'
C
Quarter to five
C
Shirts laid out
C
Socks in a line
Am
Same routine I lose my mind
F G
Again and again and again I,
C
Well I walk to the car in the pourin' rain
C
I found my way to the traffic lane
Am
I know another day and I'm goin' insane
F G
It keeps goin' again and again I,
F C G
I wish I could fly, fly away
Dm F
Somewhere I can disappear,
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Far, far away
[Chorus]
C
I need a vacation while I'm still young
C
Playin' in the sands,
C
liftin' up my hands
Am
Singin' la-de-da
G
Singin' la-de-da
C
I need a vacation while I'm still young
C
Swimmin' in the sea,
C
Dancin' in the streets
Am
Singin' la-de-da
G
Singin' la-de-da
[Instrumental]
C Am G
[Verse 2]
C
Caught up in the rhythm of the day to day
C
I've gotta lot of life to live
C
And no time to play
Am
You see, time ticks slow when you're stuck in the game
F G
Every second is a dagger to my brain
C
Workin' hard on sunny days
C
Watchin' seasons slowly fade
Am
Locked inside my corporate cage
F G
It keeps goin' again and again I,
C G
I wish I could sail through the night
Dm F
Somewhere you could never find
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Far, far away
[Chorus]
C
I need a vacation while I'm still young
C
Playin' in the sand,
C
liftin' up my hands
Am
Singin' la-de-da
G
Singin' la-de-da
C
I need a vacation while I'm still young
C
Swimmin' in the sea,
C
Dancin' in the streets
Am
Singin' la-de-da
G
Singin' la-de-da
[Middle 8]
C
La-de-da-de-da-de-da
N.C
La-de-da-de-da-de-da
Am
La-de-da-de-da-de-da
N.C
La-de-da-de-da-de-da
C
La-de-da-de-da-de-da

La-de-da-de-da-de-da

La-de-da-de-da-de-da
N.C
La-de-da-de-da-de-da
[Bridge]
Dm C G
I wish I could fly, fly away
C G
I wish I could sail through the night
C G
Drifting along with the sea
C G
Lost to the clouds in the sky
[Chorus]
C
I need a vacation while I'm still young
C
Playin' in the sand,
C
liftin' up my hands
Am
Singin' la-de-da
G
Singin' la-de-da
C
I need a vacation while I'm still young
C
Playin' in the sand,
C
liftin' up my hands
Am
Singin' la-de-da
G
Singin' la-de-da
C
I need a vacation while I'm still young
C
Swimmin' in the sea,
C
Dancin' in the streets
Am
Singin' la-de-da
G
Singin' la-de-da
[Instrumental]
