VERSE ONE
E                               B
When I was younger I used to be wild
                         C#m
As wild as an elephant's child
                     A
No one could hold me down 
                      E
No one could keep me around
                           B
Now it's your turn, take a shot
                                C#m
Baby show me everything that you got
                       A
Maybe you can keep me alive
                        E
Maybe you can get in my mind
           A
But it's only a matter of time
 
CHORUS
E                 B
Before I run far away
                   C#m
I need to take a holiday
                       A
Maybe it's a fall from grace
                   E
I gotta find a new place
      B
A holiday
                      C#m
I'll set off on a new chase
                  A
I gotta see a new face
                     E
I need to take a holiday
 
VERSE TWO
E                        B
My father, he was always wise
                         C#m
As wise as an elephant's eyes
                    A
He couldn't hold me down
                      E
He couldn't keep me around
                           B
So are you gonna take your shot?
                           C#m
It's the only one that you got
                       A
Maybe I'll go out on a limb
                         E
Maybe I'll jump in for a swim
                   A
When the lights go dim
 
CHORUS
E                 B
Before I run far away
                   C#m
I need to take a holiday
                       A
Maybe it's a fall from grace
                   E
I gotta find a new place
      B
A holiday
                      C#m
I'll set off on a new chase
                  A
I gotta see a new face
                     E
I need to take a holiday
 
VERSE THREE
E     B     C#m   A
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
E
A new start
     B
I've broken too many hearts 
                     C#m
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
    A
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday
 
 
E                               B
When I was younger I used to be wild
                         C#m
As wild as an elephant's child
                            A
And I don't think I'll ever change
                           E
I think I'm gonna stay the same
 
CHORUS
E                 B
Before I run far away
                   C#m
I need to take a holiday
                       A
Maybe it's a fall from grace
                   E
I gotta find a new place
      B
A holiday
                      C#m
I'll set off on a new chase
                  A
I gotta see a new face
                     E
I need to take a holiday
 
E
A new start
     B
I've broken too many hearts 
                     C#m
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
    A
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday
 
E
All of the wasted time
A
The hours that were left behind
C#m
answers that we'll never find
A
They don't mean a thing tonight
 
 
E, A, C#m, A until end

No capo, if you watch them do it live.

Hey thanks for the great chords. Personally, I love your version. I just played it alongside the original and it fits perfectly. I would only add that I like to move quickly from the C#m to B to A on the "Maybe(C#m) it's a fall from(B) Grace(A)" part. But otherwise, superb!
