Escape / Pina Colada - Rupert Holmes
Intro:
[F][F][Dm*] [C][C][Gm*] [F][F][Dm*] [C][C]
Verse 1:
F
I was tired of my lady,
Dm C
we'd been together too long
Gm F
like a worn out recording
Dm C
of a favorite song
C7 F
So while she lay there sleepin'
Dm C
I read the paper in bed
C7 F
and in the personal columns
Dm C
there was this letter I read. [C]
|Chorus 1:
|C7 F Dm C
| If you like piña coladas and gettin' caught in the rain
| Gm F Dm C
|if you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
|C7 F Dm C
| if you like makin' love at midnight, in the dunes of a Cape
|C7 F Dm C
| then I'm the love that you've looked for write to me and escape
Instrumental:
[F][F][Dm*] [C][C][Gm*] [F][F][Dm*] [C][C]
Verse 2:
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
I thought it wasn't half bad. [C7]
|Chorus 2:
| F Dm C
|Yes, I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
| C7 F Dm C
|I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne [C7]
| F Dm C
|I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red tape
| C7 F Dm C
|At a bar called O'Malley's where we'll plan our escape.
Instrumental:

Verse 3:
F
So I waited with high hopes
Dm C
and she walked in the place
C7 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
and she said, "Aw, it's you."
C7 F
Then we laughed for a moment
Dm C
and I said, "I never knew." [C]
|Chorus 1:
|C7 F Dm C
| If you like piña coladas and gettin' caught in the rain
| Gm F Dm C
|if you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
|C7 F Dm C
| if you like makin' love at midnight, in the dunes of a Cape
|C7 F Dm C
| then I'm the love that you've looked for write to me and escape
