Em 
I, I,  
Em      G                C             Am 
I have nothing to do, to do, to do, to do, to do 
    Em        G                C                   Am 
And I want to do it with you, with you and no-one else will be beside me 
Em   G                     C                Am 
Ahhh it will be sweet, we dream of gold we dream of green 
Em           G                    C                     Am                   D 
And ahhh, oh love is for losers, don’t be fooled ’cause you could do without me 

D          G          C     D      G            C 
I think I need a holiday, another time another place 
D          G            C     D          G            C 
To disappear without a trace, when I return throw me away 

Em      G                 C               Am 
I have nothing to say, to say, to say, to say, to say 
      Em     G                    C              Am               
But I try to say it with love, so you can say it back but wires got  
Em                G                 C                  Am 
Crossed, split, broken in two, your eyes are black, my eyes are blue 
     Em     G                      C                  Am                D 
And ahh, oh this is the part where we say things that we can never take back 


D          G          C     D      G            C 
I think I need a holiday, another time another place 
D          G            C     D          G            C 
To disappear without a trace, when I return throw me away 

D    G        C     D     G       C    D    G        C    D     G       C 
What have we done, what have we done, what have we done, what have we done 
D          G          C     D      G            C 
Everyone needs a holiday, another time another place 
D          G            C     D          G            C 
To disappear without a trace when I return throw me away 
D          G          C     D      G            C 
I think I need a holiday, another time another place 
D          G            C     D          G            C 
To disappear without a trace, when I return throw me away 
C                         Em  G  C  Am   
Throw me away, throw me away
