G D Em C Stressed out, running late, racing down the interstate Spilled hot coffee, down the front of my jeans It's work, work, pay the rent, money and my time's spent Not a minute left for me to be me Been going like nothing can wait I gotta get my priorities straight I need to live a little, have some fun Take some time, waste it on number one Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop Live a little, love a lot Friday night, here we go, Do a little do-si-do Kick back, have a laugh, catch my breath Tell the band slow it down, there she is, think I found Maybe Ms. Wonderful, I haven't met yet It just hit me like a wrecking ball She's giving me a wake up call I need to live a little, have some fun Take some time, waste it on number one Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop Live a little, love a lot Step back, smell the rose Feel the sand between your toes Unplug, unwind Step out in the sunshine I need to live a little, have some fun Take some time, waste it on number one Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop Live a little I need to live a little, have some fun Take some time, waste it on number one Take the girl, get a map and pick any old dot Live a little, we need to live a little, love a lot

I've been up to my neck
Working six days a week
Wearin' holes in the soles
Of the shoes on my feet
C
Been dreamin' of gettin' away
G
Since I don't know
C
Ain't no better time than now
D
For Mexico
CHORUS:

No shoes, no shirt, and no problems

Blues, what blues? Hey, I forgot 'em

The sun and the sand

And a drink in my hand

With no bottom

No shoes, no shirt, and no problems
No problems
Want a towel on a chair
And the sand by the sea
Wanna look through my shades
And see you there with me
C
Wanna soak up life for a while
G
In laid-back mode
C
No boss, no clock, no stress,
D
No dress code
CHORUS:

It's no secret that lately there ain't no escape
C D G
And that I've been waking up alone
G Em D
Just me and the TV and a sinking feeling
C D G
That you ain't ever coming home
Em D C G
But today, the tears ain't gonna hit the floor

Save it for a rainy day

When I turned the ignition I knew I'd been missing
C D G
The feel of the wind on my face

Em D C G
Got a drink, or two, that's as fool proof a remedy
G Em D
It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl
C D G
Kinda making eyes at me
CHORUS:
G C G
Cause the sun is too bright, the sky is too blue
D G
Beer's too cold to be thinking 'bout you

INTERLUDE: C G D G C G C D G
VERSE:

Is just gonna have to wait
CHORUS:
