[Verse 1]
     D                         C
After takin' nearly every shady lady home
        G                      C
I got an itchy feelin' under my skin
    D
So I grabbed my rags and packed my bags
   G                      Em
And got back on the road again
           D                  G
To look for paradise, I needed sugar and spice
                 D  G/D  D  G/D
I really needed a holiday

[Verse 2]
  D                          C
My main concern was which direction to turn
     G                      C
I was lookin' forward to the treat
       D
There's no parallel, it's stranger than hell
  G                          Em
To pull the rug from under my feet
         D                    G/D
I've been lovin' everything in sight
          D                           G
Still this time I knew the feelin' was right
F              G                D
'Cause I wanted everyday to be a holiday
            G                        D                    G
When it's in paradise, well, love's a holiday, when it's a-sugar and spice

[Chorus]
Bm             A
It's sweet as a stolen kiss
    G                          Em      A
It's strange in its own special way
Bm         G            A
Love, love, love's a holiday

[Verse 3]
      D                           C
Now it don't seem strange that the more I change
   G                    C
The more the feelin' inspires
     D
Understanding's what a man protects
G                           Em
Love's what his poor soul desires
         D                    G/D
I've been lovin' everything in sight
        D                         G
Now this time I know the feeling's right
F                 G                 D
'Cause I know that everyday can be a holiday
              G                        D                  G
When you're in paradise, well, love's a holiday and it's a-sugar and spice
              D                      G
Well, love's a holiday when you're in paradise
              D                    G
Well, love's a holiday, when it's a-sugar and spice and all things nice...
