Intro: D - G - Em - C - D

[D]A three day vacation [G]
[Em]Three days away [C] [D]

The turf club race book [G]
and I'm barely losing [Em]
while you're sitting next to me [C]laughing
and I'm barely losing [D]

Souvenirs we are buying [G]
T-shirts and snow gloves [Em]
We're getting our pictures taken [C]
Underneath the [D]sign...

(Runs into Guitar solo)

[D]Lounge bands we are watching [G]
While playing video poker [Em]
And 46 ounce Marguer[C]itas
We are drinking [D]

We're having dinner at the Santa Fe [G]
Walking underneath the [Em] lights
We're staying on the seventh floor [C]
Of the Fitzgerald [D]

And we're walking along the railroad tracks [G]
At five in the morning [Em]
Wishing we could always be like [C]this
That we'd never have to go [D] back...
