Escape
Pina Colada Song
Rupert Holmes
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
I was tired of my lady
Dm C G Dm7 C
we'd been together too long
G F Am G F
like a worn out recording
Dm C Em7 F C
of a favorite song
Gm F Am G F
So while she lay there sleepin'
Dm C G Dm7 C
I read the paper in bed
Gm F Am G F
and in the personal columns
Dm C Em7 F C
there was this letter I read
F Am G F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C Em7 F C
if you have half a brain
Gm F Am G F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes of a cape
Gm F Am G F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C Em7 F C
write to me and escape
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
I didn't think about my lady
Dm C G Dm7 C
I know that sounds kind of mean
Gm F Am G F
But me and my old lady
Dm C Em7 F C
had fallen into the same old dull routine
Gm F Am G F
So I wrote to the paper
Dm C G Dm7 C
took out a personal ad
Gm F Am G F
And though I'm nobody's poet
Dm C Em7 F C
I thought it wasn't half bad
F Am G F
Yes I like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and getting caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
I'm not much into health food
Dm C Em7 F C
I am into champagne
Gm F Am G F
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
Dm C G Dm7 C
and cut through all this red tape
Gm F Am G F
At a bar called O'Malley's
Dm C Em7 F C
where we'll plan our escape
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
So I waited with high hopes
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she walked in the place
Gm F Am G F
I knew her smile in an instant
Dm C Em7 F C
I knew the curve of her face
Gm F Am G F
It was my own lovely lady
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she said Aw it's you
Gm F Am G F
Then we laughed for a moment
Dm C Em7 F C
and I said I never knew
F Am G F
That you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
And the feel of the ocean
Dm C Em7 F C
and the taste of champagne
Gm F Am G F
If you like making love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes on the cape
Gm F Am G F
You're the lady I've looked for
Dm C Em7 F C
come with me and escape
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C Em7 F C
if you have half a brain
Gm F Am G F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes of a cape
Gm F Am G F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C Em7 F C
write to me and escape
F Am G F
Yes I like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and getting caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
I'm not much into health food
Dm C Em7 F C
I am into champagne
