Bm chordBm E chordE A chordA F# chordF#
And I'm just standing on the edge of a pier,
Bm chordBm E chordE A chordA F# chordF#
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
Bm chordBm E chordE A chordA
To share my little holiday,

A chordA F# chordF# Bm chordBm E chordE
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
A chordA F# chordF# Bm chordBm E chordE
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
A chordA A7 chordA7 D chordD Bm chordBm
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
E chordE
I had to leave the city cos it nearly broke me down,

I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
D chordD A chordA
The environmental pressures got me down,
A chordA A7 chordA7 D chordD Bm chordBm
I don't need no sedatives to slow me down,

I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,

A chordA F# chordF#
Oh holiday,
Bm chordBm E chordE A chordA F# chordF#
Oh what a lovely day today,
Bm chordBm E chordE A chordA F# chordF#
I think I'll get down on my knees and pray,
Bm chordBm E chordE A chordA
Thank heaven for this holiday,

D chordD A chordA
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
D chordD A chordA
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
A chordA A7 chordA7
And the sea's an open sewer,
D chordD Bm chordBm
But I really couldn't care,
E chordE
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air,

A chordA F# chordF# Bm chordBm
Holiday,
E chordE A chordA F# chordF#
Oh what a lovely day today,

I'm so glad they sent me away,
