Intro:

D	D	A	G   *2

Verse One:

D	D			A
Totally wired and the game is up
    G
I?m under the table
    D
You carry my heart in the palm of your hand
       A			   G
As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out
D
Open up to find a man made home
       A	                 G
And by four o?clock when the sun came out
We were beside ourselves

Chorus 1:

			     D
Taking the rest of the day off
      G
Lying out the back
Slung in a hammock
D			 F			G
Gathering reams of space and time

Verse 2:

D	D	A	G

D	D
Two eyes that surrender
    A
The call might come
G			D
Fire my anger and spoil the whole thing
				   A
It?s not much fun when the pressures on
	   G
And your luck has gone
But you squeeze my hand

Chorus 2:

				     D
We?re taking the rest of the day off
	     G
We like to climb the rock
Before we have lunch
          D				  F
And we?ll turn our backs on the whole damn bunch
Middle 8 (repeat this phrase * 3)

A	G	F	F
Ah ah ah ah

Verse 3:

D	D			     A
You?ll find the answer walking the dog
   G			     D
Down the south of Piha, it?s over and done
				  A
Not a lot to say when the man calls up
    G					D
The line goes dead and you?re yesterdays news
				     A
I couldn?t care less now I?m here with you
          G
We?re the only ones left and we?re flat on our backs

Chorus 3:

G			     D
Taking the rest of the day off
		    G
And you find it don?t add up to much
				 D
When you?re wrapped in a blanket of stars
	   F				G    D
With the one you love 		yeah yeah
         F                    G    D
Like two shiny dogs           yeah yeah
         F				G    D
With the one you love         yeah yeah

D (to fade)
