C#7#5#9 Esus4 F#m11 Bm Bm11 Bm11/A# [Intro] Bb Am Am Badd11 D6sus2/B [Verse 1]

Am
Your grandfather's guitar

                  Badd11             D6sus2/B
Thinkin' about how funny I must look

                   Am
Tryin' to adjust to what's been there all along

         Badd11                  D6sus2/B       Am
With the boat kiosk lady and her sleepy amigos

[Chorus]

D6add9             C#m7#5       F#m/C#
   But it ain't a holiday until

                D6/A                        Am
You go to fetch somethin' from the car

[Verse 2]

Am
Travel size champagne cork pops

       Badd11
And we're sweepin' for bugs

   D6sus2/B               Am
In some dusty apartment,

Am
the what's-it-called café

        Badd11                    D6sus2/B               Am
You can arrive at eleven and have lunch with the English

[Chorus]

D6add9             C#m7#5       F#m/C#
   But it ain't a holiday until

                  D6/A
They force you to make a wish

[Bridge]

           C#7#5#9
They say, "climb up this"

     Esus4       F#m11    Bm
And "jump off that"

                    Bm11                  Bm11/A#
And you pretend to fall asleep on the way back

[Instrumental] Am Am Badd11 D6sus2/B Am Am D6add9 [Chorus 3]

D6add9             C#m7#5        F#m/C#
   No, it ain't a holiday until

                   D6/A                      Am
You go up to fetch somethin' from the car

[Outro] Am
