[Intro]
D A Bm A G D Em7 A
[Verse 1]
D
I ducked in that little tiki bar
Em7
Thinkin' I'd ride out the storm
A7
She was spinnin' pink and yellow paper umbrellas
D
And holdin' up her hand to have one more
D
I stood and watched her sippin', cryin'
G
Flippin' through old pictures on her phone
A
I said, hey, is this seat taken?
A7 D
I hate for to have to alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 A
She cracked a smile, said, sit here if you want
Em7 A
I said, I don't mean to pry, but girl you're doin' this all wrong
[Chorus]
G
It's gonna take a lot of piña coladas
D
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
G
I'll sit here a little longer
G
And get us somethin' stronger
A
Somethin' that'll work in half the time
D
Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Am7 D G
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
D Em
To chase the clouds away
A
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya
Em7
Paper umbrellas look good on top
A D
But they won't stop the rain
[Verse 2]
D
She dropped her straw back in that hourglass
Em
And said, I guess it's worth a shot
A
I said, lightnin', it don't mix with
A
Any kind of fishin'
D
So, girl, I'm guessin' time is all I've got
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 A
But tonight you need a friend and nothin' more
Em7
I know what helps a heart to heal, girl
A
I've been there before
[Chorus]
G
It's gonna take a lot of piña coladas
D
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
G
I'll sit here a little longer
G
And get us somethin' stronger
A7
Somethin' that'll work in half the time
D
Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Am7 D G
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
D Em
To chase the clouds away
A
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya
A7 Em7
Paper umbrellas look good on top
A D
But they won't stop the rain
[Outro]
D
Yeah, when love don't shine like you thought it would
Am7 D G
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
D Em7
To chase the clouds away
A
Yeah, all them pink and yellow paper umbrellas
Em7
Look good on top
A D A
But they won't stop the rain
