Now as younger I used to [Em] be wild
As wild as an [C#m] elephant's child
No one could hold [E] me down
No one could keep me around
Now it's your turn, take a shot
Baby show me everything [C#m] that you got
Maybe you can keep me [E] nice
Maybe you can get [A] in my [B] mouth
[E] But it's only in my boots
Before I run, [B] I need to take a [C#m] holiday
Maybe it's the fall [A] from grace
[B] I gotta find a new [E] place
[B] I'll set up on a new [C#m] chair
I gotta see a new [E] face
[B] I need to take a [E] holiday
My father he was always wise
As wise as an [C#m] elephant's eyes
He couldn't hold me [A] down
He couldn't keep me around
So are you gonna take [E] your shot?
It's the only one [C#m] that you got
Maybe I'll go out [A] on a limb
Maybe I'll jump in for a swim
[B] But when the lights [E] go dim
You know I'll run
[B] I need to take a [C#m] holiday
Maybe it's the fall [A] from grace
[B] I gotta find a new [E] place
[B] I'll set up on a [C#m] new chair
I gotta see a new [E] face
[B] I need to take a [A] holiday
[E] [C#]
[B] [E] On a new star
Broken stairway
And I don't have [C#] any clue where to go
I don't know
[B] Maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday
When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an [C#m] elephant's child
[E] And I don't think I'll ever change
I think I'm gonna stay the same I'll run
[B] I need to take a [C#m] holiday
Maybe it's the [E] fall from grace
[B] I gotta find a [E] new place
A [B] holiday
I'll set up on a [C#m] new chair
I gotta see a [E] new face
[B] I need to take a [E] holiday
And
[Em] I don't have [C#m] any clue where to go
I don't know
[E] But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday
It's time to leave behind [C#m] answers
That will never find [A] their way [B] up [E] to the sky
