[G][C][D]
                    [G]
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]                [D][Eb][D][Db]
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] [Eb][D][Db]
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

     Break [C7][G][A][D][Eb][D][Db]  x2

             [C7]
Baby, don't misunderstand me
      [G]                        [E]
I'm not playing any games
      [A]
I'm trying to find a rainbow
               [D] [Eb][D][Db]
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]  [C7][G]
From the blues
