[Verse]
Em  Am             D     G   Em  Am
       When you're on a holiday
           D        G        Em  Am
You can't find the words to say
          D          G       Em  Am
All the things that come to you
       D      G      Em  Am

We'll be playing and having fun

           D       G   Em  Am
You don't need no memory
         D      G          Em  Am
Just a place to call your own
        D      G      Em  Am
As we drift into the zone
 
[Chorus]

I can't control my brain

D            G
 We'll run away together
D                  G
 We'll spend some time forever

 We'll never feel bad anymore (Hip hip)

you can use the barre chords, so it won't be a novice tab...

Bar chords aren't needed for this song, look at this vid where WEEZER uses the open chords. Acoustic version - [island in the sun] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8b2ju7_tuI&feature=related I think for the "hip hip" parts you should use the chords that are in the tabbed versions of this song, however playing the chords you wrote still work as they're being played in the background melody. Props for putting chords on this, **** HitaroX for hating on you for no reason . . . .
