I was tired of my [F]lady, [Am] [G] [F]
we'd been tog[Dm]ether too [C]long [G] [Dm7] [C]
like a worn [G]out rec[F]ording [Am] [G] [F]
of a [Dm]favorite [C]song.  [Em7] [F] [C]

So while she [Gm]lay there [F]sleepin' [Am] [G] [F]
I read the [Dm]paper in [C]bed [G] [Dm7] [C]
and in the [Gm]personal [F]columns [Am] [G] [F]
there was this [Dm]letter I r[C]ead.[Em7]  [F] [C]


If you like piña [F]coladas [Am] [G] [F]
and gettin' caug[Dm]ht in the [C]rain [G] [Dm7] [C]
if you're [Gm]not into [F]yoga [Am] [G] [F]
if you [Dm]have half a [C]brain[Em7]  [F] [C]

if you like [Gm]makin' love at [F]midnight [Am] [G] [F]
in the [Dm]dunes of [C]a cape [G] [Dm7] [C]
then I'm the [Gm]love that you've [F]looked for [Am] [G] [F]
wri[Dm]te to me and [C]escap[Em7]e.  [F] [C]


F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |


I didn't think about my[F] lady,[Am]  [G] [F]
I know that so[Dm]unds kind of m[C]ean [G] [Dm7] [C]
But me and[Gm] my old [F]lady  [Am] [G] [F]
had fallen i[Dm]nto the sa[C]me old dull [Em7]routin[F]e [C]

So I w[Gm]rote to the [F]paper,[Am]  [G] [F]
took out a [Dm]personal [C]ad [G] [Dm7] [C]
And though I[Gm]'m nobody's [F]poet,  [Am] [G] [F]
I thought it [Dm]wasn't half[C] bad. [Em7] [F] [C]


Yes, I like piña [F]coladas [Am] [G] [F]
and getting ca[Dm]ught in the [C]rain [G] [Dm7] [C]
I'm not m[Gm]uch into [F]health food,[Am]  [G] [F]
I am[Dm] into cham[C]pagne [Em7] [F] [C]

I've got to [Gm]meet you by [F]tomorrow [Am]noo[G]n [F]
and cut throug[Dm]h all this [C]red tap[G]e [Dm7] [C]
At a [Gm]bar called [F]O'Malley's [Am] [G] [F]
where we'll [Dm]plan our [C]escape. [Em7] [F] [C]


F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |


So I waited with [F]high hopes [Am] [G] [F]
and she wa[Dm]lked in the [C]place [G] [Dm7] [C]
I knew her s[Gm]mile in an [F]instant,[Am]  [G] [F]
I knew the [Dm]curve of her[C] face [Em7] [F] [C]

It was my [Gm]own lovely [F]lady  [Am] [G] [F]
and she s[Dm]aid, "Aw, [C]it's yo[G]u.[Dm7]" [C]
Then we [Gm]laughed for a [F]moment [Am] [G] [F]
and I[Dm] said, "I [C]never knew.[Em7]" [F] [C]


That you like piña [F]coladas [Am] [G] [F]
and gettin' cau[Dm]ght in the[C] rain [G] [Dm7] [C]
And the f[Gm]eel of the [F]ocean [Am] [G] [F]
and the[Dm] taste of [C]champagne [Em7] [F] [C]

If you like maki[Gm]ng love at [F]midnight [Am] [G] [F]
in the d[Dm]unes on th[C]e cape [G] [Dm7] [C]
You're the [Gm]lady I've [F]looked for[Am],  [G] [F]
come with [Dm]me and[C] escape [Em7] [F] [C]


F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |


If you like piña [F]coladas [Am] [G] [F]
and gettin' caug[Dm]ht in the [C]rain [G] [Dm7] [C]
if you're [Gm]not into [F]yoga [Am] [G] [F]
if you [Dm]have half a [C]brain[Em7]  [F] [C]

if you like [Gm]makin' love at [F]midnight [Am] [G] [F]

then I'm the [Gm]love that you've [F]looked for [Am] [G] [F]
wri[Dm]te to me and [C]escap[Em7]e.  [F] [C]


Yes, I like piña [F]coladas [Am] [G] [F]
and getting ca[Dm]ught in the [C]rain [G] [Dm7] [C]
I'm not m[Gm]uch into [F]health food,[Am]  [G] [F]
