[Verse 1]
F Am7 G
I was tired of my lady
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
We'd been together too long
C C/E F Am7 G F
Like a worn out recording
F G7sus4 | C Em Dm7 |
Of a favorite song
C C9/E F Am7 G
So while she lay there sleepin'
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
I read the paper in bed
C C9/E F Am7 G
And in the personal columns
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 | C |
There was this letter I read (break)
[Chorus 1]
F Am7 G
If you like piña coladas
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And gettin' caught in the rain
C C9/E F Am7 G
If you're not into yoga
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
If you have half a brain
C C9/E F Am7 G
If you like makin' love at midnight
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
In the dunes of a cape
C C9/E F Am7 G
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 | C |
Write to me and escape (break)
[Interlude]
| F Am7 G | F G7sus4 | C Em Dm7 | C C7/E |
| F Am7 G | F G7sus4 | C Em Dm7 | C |
(break)
[Verse 2]
F Am7 G
I didn't think about my lady
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
I know that sounds kind of mean
C C9/E F Am7 G
But me and my old lady
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 [ C ]
Had fallen into the same old dull rou-tine
C C9/E F Am7 G
So I wrote to the paper
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
Took out a personal ad
C C9/E F Am7 G
And though I'm nobody's poet
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 | C |
I thought it wasn't half bad (break)
[Chorus 2]
F Am7 G
Yes, I like piña coladas
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And getting caught in the rain
C C9/E F Am7 G
I'm not much into health food
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
I am into champagne
C C9/E F Am7 G
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And cut through all this red tape
C C9/E F Am7 G
At a bar called O'Malley's
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 | C |
Where we'll plan our escape (break)
[Interlude]
| F Am7 G | F G7sus4 | C Em Dm7 | C C7/E |
| F Am7 G | F G7sus4 | C Em Dm7 | C |
(break)
[Verse 3]
F Am7 G
So I waited with high hopes
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And she walked in the place
C C9/E F Am7 G
I knew her smile in an instant
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
I knew the curve of her face
C C9/E F Am7 G
It was my own lovely lady
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And she said, "Aw, it's you."
C C9/E F Am7 G
Then we laughed for a moment
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 | C |
And I said, ... "I never knew." (break)
[Chorus 3]
F Am7 G
That you like piña coladas
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And gettin' caught in the rain
C C9/E F Am7 G
And the feel of the ocean
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And the taste of champagne
C C9/E F Am7 G
If you like making love at midnight
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
In the dunes on the cape
C C9/E F Am7 G
You're the lady I've looked for
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 | C |
Come with me and escape” (break)
[Interlude]
| F Am7 G | F G7sus4 | C Em Dm7 | C C7/E |

(break)
[Chorus 1] (fade out)
F Am7 G
If you like piña coladas
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And gettin' caught in the rain
C C9/E F Am7 G
If you're not into yoga
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
If you have half a brain
C C9/E F Am7 G
If you like makin' love at midnight
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
In the dunes of a cape
C C9/E F Am7 G
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7 | C |
Write to me and escape (break)
[Chorus 2] F Am7 G
Yes, I like piña coladas
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
And getting caught in the rain
C C9/E F Am7 G
I'm not much into health food
F G7sus4 C Em Dm7
I am into champagne
