Chords

Standard

Intro: D A
                      D                           A
You know I love my lady, but we've been together to long 
                   D                 A
Like a worn out recording of a favorite song 
                          D                      A
So while she lay there sleepin' I read the paper in bed 
                     D                            A
And in the personal columns, there was this letter I read 


                  D                               A
If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain 
                    D                      A
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain 
                            D                        A
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape 
                                  D                    A
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape 

                        D                             A
I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean 
                  D                                  A
But me and my old lady had fallen into the same old dull routine 
                   D                      A
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad 
                       D                           A
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad 


                         D                        A
Yes, I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain 
                         D                 A
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne 
                             D                            A
I've got to meet you by tomorrow and cut through all this red tape 
                    D                           A
At a bar called O'Malley's where we'll plan our escape 


                      D                           A
So I waited with high hopes and she walked in the place 
                       D                               A
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face 
                     D                             A
It was my own lovely lady and she said, "Aw, it's you." 
                      D                             A
Then we laughed for a moment and I said, "I never knew." 

                                   D                              A
"I never knew" That you like piña coladas and gettin' caught in the rain 
                     D                      A
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne 
                            D                          A
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape 
                             D                   A
You're the lady I've looked for, come with me and escape 

                    D                               A
If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain 
                    D                      A
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain 
                             D                       A
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape 
                                  D                    A
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape 

                     D                            A
Yes I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain 
                       D                    A
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne 
                            D                             A
I've got to meet you by tomorrow and cut through all this red tape
