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
