[Intro]
Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb  Gm/C | F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F  Am7b5 |   Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb  Gm/C | F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F  |
 
[Verse 1]
                  Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb         Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
I was tired of my lady,          we'd been together too long
       Am7b5       Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb     Gm/C |   F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
like a worn out recording        of a favorite song.
            Am7b5       Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb         Gm/C |    F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
So while she lay there sleepin'        I read the paper in bed
           Am7b5    Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb              Gm/C |    F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F  Am7b5
and in the personal columns         there was this letter I read.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
                    Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb           Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
If you like piña coladas          and gettin' caught in the rain
          Am7b5    Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb        Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
if you're not into yoga            if you have half a brain
            Am7b5          Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb      Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
if you like makin' love at midnight       in the dunes of a cape
              Am7b5           Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb        Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
then I'm the love that you've looked for       write to me and escape.
 
 
[Instrumental]
Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb  Gm/C | F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F  Am7b5 |   Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb  Gm/C | F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F  |
 
 
[Verse 2]
                         Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb           Gm/C |         F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
I didn't think about my lady,           I know that sounds kind of mean
           Am7b5  Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb            Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
But me and my old lady             had fallen into the same old dull routine
      Am7b5       Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb            Gm/C |    F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
So I wrote to the paper,           took out a personal ad
               Am7b5     Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb              Gm/C |      F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
And though I'm nobody's poet,            I thought it wasn't half bad.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
            Am7b5  Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb             Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
Yes, I like piña coladas            and getting caught in the rain
        Am7b5     Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb      Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
I'm not much into health food,      I am into champagne
            Am7b5          Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb               Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon    and cut through all this red tape
      Am7b5       Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb            Gm/C |      F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
At a bar called O'Malley's        where we'll plan our escape.
 
 
[Instrumental]
Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb  Gm/C | F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F  Am7b5 |   Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb  Gm/C | F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F  |
 
 
[Verse 3]
                  Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb        Gm/C |          F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
So I waited with high hopes         and she walked in the place
            Am7b5      Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb          Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
I knew her smile in an instant,       I knew the curve of her face
          Am7b5       Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb         Gm/C |          F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
It was my own lovely lady             and she said, "Aw, it's you."
        Am7b5         Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb             Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
Then we laughed for a moment          and I said, "I never knew."
 
 
[Chorus 3]
              Am7b5  Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb            Gm/C |        F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
That you like piña coladas         and gettin' caught in the rain
        Am7b5       Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb          Gm/C |      F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
And the feel of the ocean            and the taste of champagne
            Am7b5          Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb      Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
If you like making love at midnight       in the dunes on the cape
           Am7b5     Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb           Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
You're the lady I've looked for,      come with me and escape
 
 
[Chorus 1]
                    Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb           Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
If you like piña coladas          and gettin' caught in the rain
          Am7b5    Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb        Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
if you're not into yoga            if you have half a brain
            Am7b5          Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb      Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
if you like makin' love at midnight       in the dunes of a cape
              Am7b5           Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb        Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
then I'm the love that you've looked for       write to me and escape.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
            Am7b5  Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb             Gm/C |       F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
Yes, I like piña coladas            and getting caught in the rain
        Am7b5     Bb  Bb/D C7 | Bb      Gm/C |     F  Fmaj7/A Gm7| F
I'm not much into health food,      I am into champagne....
