Intro:

D D A G *2

Verse One:

D D A
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 F G
Gathering reams of space and time

Verse 2:

D D A G

D D
Two eyes that surrender
A
The call might come
G D
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)

A G F F
Ah ah ah ah

Verse 3:

D D 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
G D
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
F G D
With the one you love yeah yeah
F G D
Like two shiny dogs yeah yeah
F G D
With the one you love yeah yeah

D (to fade)
