I was (C7)ti red of my (F)la dy,

we’d been to (G)geth er too (C)long.

Like a (C7)worn out re (F)cord ing

of my (G)fa vor ite (C)song.

So while she (C7)lay there (F)sleep ing,

I read the (G)pa per in (C)bed.

And in the (C7)per son al (F)col umns,

there was a (G)let ter I (C)read:

If you like pi ña co (F)la das

and get ting (G)caught in the (C)rain,

if you’re (C7)not in to (F)yo ga,

if you (G)have half a (C)brain,

if you like (C7)mak ing love at (F)mid night

in the (G)dunes of the (C)Cape,

Then I’m the (C7)love that you’ve (F)looked for,

write to (G)me and es (C)cape.

I did n’t (C7)think a bout my (F)la dy,

we’d been to (G)geth er too (C)long.

Like a (C7)worn out re (F)cord ing

of my (G)fa vor ite (C)song.

So while she (C7)lay there (F)sleep ing,

I read the (G)pa per in (C)bed.

And in the (C7)per son al (F)col umns,

there was a (G)let ter I (C)read:

If you like pi ña co (F)la das
