Escape / Pina Colada - Rupert Holmes
[F] [Dm] [C] [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
C F
I was tired of my lady,
Dm C
we'd been together too long
F
like a worn out recording
Dm C
of a favorite song
F
So while she lay there sleepin'
Dm C
I read the paper in bed
F
and in the personal columns
Dm C
there was this letter I read.
C7 F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C
if you have half a brain
C7 F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C
in the dunes of a Cape
C7 F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C
write to me and escape
[F] [Dm] [C] [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
C F
I didn't think about my lady,
Dm C
I know that sounds kind of mean
C7 F
But me and my old lady
Dm C
had fallen into the same old dull routine
C7 F
So I wrote to the paper,
Dm C
took out a personal ad
C7 F
And though I'm nobody's poet,
Dm C C7
I thought it wasn't half bad.
F
Yes, I like piña coladas
Dm C
and getting caught in the rain
C7 F
I'm not much into health food,
Dm C C7
I am into champagne
F
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
Dm C
and cut through all this red tape
C7 F
At a bar called O'Malley's
Dm C
where we'll plan our escape.
[F] [Dm] [C] [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
F
So I waited with high hopes
Dm C C7
and she walked in the place
F
I knew her smile in an instant,
Dm C
I knew the curve of her face
C7 F
It was my own lovely lady
Dm C C7
and she said, "Aw, it's you."
F
Then we laughed for a moment
Dm C C7
and I said, "I never knew."
C7 F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C
if you have half a brain
C7 F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C
in the dunes of a Cape
C7 F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C
write to me and escape
