I took some time down by the ocean 
            C7                        A 
Just to try and shake the notion 
              G       E            A                        D 
That my world could not continue without you 
       G                  G7 
So I took a long vacation 
               C7                 A 
Traveled all around the nation 
           G    E     A              D         G     C7 G 
Trying hard to rearrange my point of view 
                                                               G7 
I went from Birmingham all the way to Boulder 
 G               C7                     A 
And when I looked over my shoulder 
                 G           E               A          
All I could see was your sweet face shining though 
        G                               G7 
And no matter how hard I try 
            C7                    A 
To fight off the urge to cry 
                        G    E      A       D          G    C7 G 
It seems there ain't no vacation from the blues 
                 C7 
And I can run but I can't hide 
                 G           E 
From the pain I feel inside 
                    A                                    D 
And there's no one but myself left to accuse 
             G                          G7 
So with all these bridges burned 
                    C7              A 
There's no pages left to turn    
                 G    E     A         D         G      C7 G 
And there ain't no vacation from the blues

             C7 
Baby, don't misunderstand me 
      G                        E 
I'm not playing any games 
      A 
I'm trying to find a rainbow 
               D 
But I can't find it for the rain 
            G                              G7 
So with all these bridges burned 
             C7                     A 
There's no pages left to turn 
        G    E     A    D 
And there ain't no vacation 
     G        E      A     D 
Said there ain't no vacation 
     G       E     A      D 
Said there ain't no vacation 
              G  C7G 
From the blues
