[Intro]

C Am G

[Verse 1]

Wake up in the mornin'

Quarter to five

Shirts laid out

Socks in a line

Same routine I lose my mind

F G

Again and again and again I,

Well I walk to the car in the pourin' rain

I found my way to the traffic lane

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]

I need a vacation while I'm still young

Playin' in the sands,

liftin' up my hands

Singin' la-de-da

I need a vacation while I'm still young

Swimmin' in the sea,

Dancin' in the streets

Singin' la-de-da

[Instrumental]

C Am G

[Verse 2]

Caught up in the rhythm of the day to day

I've gotta lot of life to live

And no time to play

You see, time ticks slow when you're stuck in the game

F G

Every second is a dagger to my brain

Workin' hard on sunny days

Watchin' seasons slowly fade

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]

I need a vacation while I'm still young

Playin' in the sand,

liftin' up my hands

Singin' la-de-da

I need a vacation while I'm still young

Swimmin' in the sea,

Dancin' in the streets

Singin' la-de-da

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]

I need a vacation while I'm still young

Playin' in the sand,

liftin' up my hands

Singin' la-de-da

I need a vacation while I'm still young

Playin' in the sand,

liftin' up my hands

Singin' la-de-da

I need a vacation while I'm still young

Swimmin' in the sea,

Dancin' in the streets

Singin' la-de-da

[Instrumental]

C Am G

I need a vacation
