Intro:
DDAG *2
Verse One:
DDA
Totally wired and the game is up
G
I?m under the table
D
You carry my heart in the palm of your hand
A G
As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out
D
Open up to find a man made home
A G
And by four o?clock when the sun came out
We were beside ourselves
Chorus 1:
D
Taking the rest of the day off
G
Lying out the back
Slung in a hammock
D FG
Gathering reams of space and time
Verse 2:
DDAG
DD
Two eyes that surrender
A
The call might come
GD
Fire my anger and spoil the whole thing
A
It?s not much fun when the pressures on
G
And your luck has gone
But you squeeze my hand
Chorus 2:
D
We?re taking the rest of the day off
G
We like to climb the rock
Before we have lunch
D F
And we?ll turn our backs on the whole damn bunch
Middle 8 (repeat this phrase * 3)
AGFF
Ah ah ah ah
Verse 3:
DD A
You?ll find the answer walking the dog
G D
Down the south of Piha, it?s over and done
A
Not a lot to say when the man calls up
GD
The line goes dead and you?re yesterdays news
A
I couldn?t care less now I?m here with you
G
We?re the only ones left and we?re flat on our backs
Chorus 3:
G D
Taking the rest of the day off
G
And you find it don?t add up to much
D
When you?re wrapped in a blanket of stars
FG D
With the one you love yeah yeah
F G D
Like two shiny dogs yeah yeah
FG D
With the one you love yeah yeah
D (to fade)
