F                    Bb                        F 
It's you and me on a beach/ In nineteen-ninety eight 
                 Bb               Dm          Bb       F 
Leaning into the breeze/ From the willows and rivermen grace 
    Am             Bb         F                        C 
Are reborn in this place/ I'm assured the procedure is painless 
F                   Bb                         F 
The taxicab with no brakes/ around the mountain pass 
                       Bb           Dm   Bb             F 
Keep your head in your hands/ if anybody askes what you mean when 
         Am        Bb              F                     C 
You were picking a fight/ you were only complimenting the waitress 

Chorus 1:
  
          Am                    Bb  
Give us a room, with a mountain view: 
       F             C      F           C         Bb 
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I, 
                    C       F          Bb 
Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast

And a dip in the ocean.

Verse 2:
  
F                 Bb                      F 
The waterfront is alight/ with Citronella flame 
                      Bb              Dm    
Tourists flash in the night/ from the grottoes and  
Bb        F          Am        Bb           F 
Gathering now on the heel-worn planks for a drunken 
                C 
Form another, a mumble (?) 
F                   Bb                  F 
And lovers paddle a boat/ on the molten bay 
                     Bb          Dm 
Peering into the the reeds/ on a ripple 
    Bb         F          Am        Bb 
And playing it cool/ in a bar by the pool 
       F                  C 
With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto

          Am                    Bb

Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast 
      C              F 
And a dip in the ocean.

Bridge: 

Am                Bb 
Get a load of the light in the trees and the 
F       C          F        C 
Sweet decay on the maritime breeze 
Dm                  C   Bb 
The sun's hitching on a weather balloon  
         C 
And the heat of the tarmac 
G         C         F 
Burning a hole in a gold afternoon

Got a rental for an hour or two, and a bottle and cooler 
          C          F   C     Bb 
With some maps and a big brown towel 
                   Am         Dm 
It's a beater, but today will do

For a ride up the coast, and a dip in the ocean.
