[A] [G] [F#m] [Em]
[D]
Her therapist said she [Em] needs to get away.
[A] A place [G] hard to reach [F#m] with a long [Em] stretch of feet's [D] the perfect kind of way.
She's not the kind to relax or [Em] just lay in the sun.
[A] When the plane touches down she glances around and [D] simply comes [D] undone.
[G] Now everywhere she looks is like a picture [D] from a magazine.
Prettiest [A] water she's ever seen.
A loveless shade [D] of margarita green.
[G] Strolling along to the beat of the song [D] that the man with the [G] guitar plays.
[D] I bet she stays, [A] she's got that [D] island day.
[G]
[D] Yeah, I bet she stays, [A] she's lost in that [D] island day.
A tired businessman waits
[Em] for his flight.
[A] The attendant [G] explains [F#m] they're de-icing [Em] the plane.
[D] We'll leave sometime tonight.
Across the room he sees the [Em] air to make a gate.
He [A] says don't wait for me cause I think I might be [D] just a few weeks late.
[G] Now everywhere he looks is like a picture [D] from a magazine.
Prettiest water [A] he's ever seen.
The perfect shade of [D] margarita green.
[G] Walking along humming the song [D] that the man with the steel [G] drum plays.
[D] I bet he [A] stays, he's got that [D] island day.
[G]
[D] Yeah, I bet he stays, [A] he's lost in that [D] island day.

It's the feeling you get when [Em] you're on island time.
[A] It affects [G] what you think [F#m] and how much [Em] you drink.
[D] It'll change your mind.
So when you're blown off course, [Em] don't drift too [Bm] far.
[A] Come and join me, see I'll be the man [D] at the end of the bar.
[G]
Now everywhere they look is like a picture [D] from a magazine.
Prettiest water [A] they've ever seen.
The perfect shade of [D] margarita green.
[G] Singing a tune to the tropical moon, [D] making love to the sound [G] of the wave.
[D] I bet they stay, [A] lost in that island [D] day.
[G] Yeah, [D] I bet they stay, [A] they've got that island [D] day.
[G]
Now everywhere I look is like a picture [D] from a magazine.
Prettiest water [A] I've ever seen.
The perfect shade of [D] margarita green.
[G] I bet I could be a bartender.
[D] I wonder how much [G] it'd pay.
[D] I bet I stay, [A] lost in that island [D] day.
[G]
[D] Yeah, I'm gonna stay, [A] lost in that island [D] day.
